<v Speaker 1>is that apostrophe? We got the bad boy of media,
<v Speaker 1>Mike Minati.
<v Speaker 4>I think I'm done with Wings.
<v Speaker 2>For a while. Oh what happened Wings? Yeah?
<v Speaker 4>The show, Yeah, the band and the show. Never me
<v Speaker 4>and the show were tight. Well, you know, Jeff Cambell
<v Speaker 4>for the Lego party party my brothers. I'll get some
<v Speaker 4>food for them, and I was like, yeah, I always
<v Speaker 4>do pizza and Jeff doesn't even like cheese that much
<v Speaker 4>right now or it makes them sick. I was like,
<v Speaker 4>all right, I get so I'll get some wings instead.
<v Speaker 4>That'll be that'll be fun. I got okay, so two
<v Speaker 4>buckets of wings, right, yes, I'm gonna do this. I've
<v Speaker 4>got a complaint about the price. Two buckets of wings.
<v Speaker 4>Well bucket is twenty wings.
<v Speaker 2>I was like to it.
<v Speaker 1>I've not done introducing everyone on the show yet.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I want to hear it introduced.
<v Speaker 4>I've been introduced.
<v Speaker 2>No, I forgot. We have a special sixth share today.
<v Speaker 1>He is the sword Saint of games media. We have
<v Speaker 1>the Talking Flower from Super Mario Brothers.
<v Speaker 2>That's right alive in the studio. I have the Talking
<v Speaker 2>Flower sitting next to me. It is miked up. So look,
<v Speaker 2>he can be kind of rude. Uh. He is during
<v Speaker 2>his waking hours right now, which is seven am to
<v Speaker 2>ten pm, which he can just say whatever during that time.
<v Speaker 2>So Sean, we might have to cut some stuff later.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he's like the Raphael of the podcast, like the Turtles,
<v Speaker 1>you know.
<v Speaker 2>That's yeah, there's no control over when he says stuff
<v Speaker 2>what he says.
<v Speaker 5>He does look like he's interested in how much the
<v Speaker 5>buckets cost, though, Mike, So you want to keep.
<v Speaker 2>Go ahead?
<v Speaker 4>Two buckets, which again, like let's get excited. Where did
<v Speaker 4>we get the where did we get the chicken? Quicker steak?
<v Speaker 4>And loub kind of a little more localis Chaine here
<v Speaker 4>here's the last word loo loob gas stations trying.
<v Speaker 2>It's like a ail change service.
<v Speaker 3>The last word sounds it sounds like a change your
<v Speaker 3>fucking oil.
<v Speaker 4>That's interesting because boy, that just existed here since I
<v Speaker 4>was born, so like, I've never thought it was weird
<v Speaker 4>until just it's weird that the word lube is in
<v Speaker 4>the chicken name. Two buckets, would you got twenty wings
<v Speaker 4>each and some presol chicken and they waved It was Grandpa,
<v Speaker 4>but they waved the feast because I had to spend
<v Speaker 4>so freaking much, not including the tip eighty five dollars.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well, here's wait, here's my hot take on that. Mic.
<v Speaker 2>And I've always been this way despite loving wings, I
<v Speaker 2>don't think wings are a delivery food. And I know
<v Speaker 2>pizza places have been doing this for a while now.
<v Speaker 2>I've never wanted I think I did it once or twice.
<v Speaker 2>It was like, these don't travel well, y are not delivered.
<v Speaker 2>I eat wings at the place that makes the wings.
<v Speaker 3>Only you gotta you gotta prep like an oven for receiving,
<v Speaker 3>like I almost I almost get kids, like I take
<v Speaker 3>them and put them right in the It depends on.
<v Speaker 5>The quality of the wing, like, yeah, you probably got bad,
<v Speaker 5>low quality and traveled wings dand and that's gonna hurt it.
<v Speaker 2>You also need four hundred fucking napkins every time you eat,
<v Speaker 2>and so you're just sometimes you're a dry guy, and
<v Speaker 2>you know, I like to save my napskin. Sash I
<v Speaker 2>was a look.
<v Speaker 4>I got an extra crispy to make sure, like the
<v Speaker 4>Soggi factor wasn't I always get an extra crispy because
<v Speaker 4>so many wing places through the bare minimum cook times
<v Speaker 4>you have that flabby skin and it sucks.
<v Speaker 2>Like the wings tasted good. They tasted good.
<v Speaker 4>I'll give them that, but they're too expensive. And as
<v Speaker 4>soon as everyone left, I did not feel great. I
<v Speaker 4>don't know what it is I.
<v Speaker 2>Feel, you mean, like sicky poo.
<v Speaker 4>I feel a little SICKI poo.
<v Speaker 2>Well, Mike, I don't want to pry into you. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>on the drip home a little bit like, aren't aren't
<v Speaker 2>you don't? Aren't you very susceptible to That's what? Yes?
<v Speaker 4>And I was thinking this just now, like I have
<v Speaker 4>stomach issues quite often for sure, right, this is not
<v Speaker 4>a crone's thing. I know the difference. It's not like
<v Speaker 4>a pain or an ache. It's a nausea and I
<v Speaker 4>don't really have a nausea. It's normally a pain, an ache,
<v Speaker 4>a cramp. This is a dull nausea.
<v Speaker 5>I mean, the price of everything's gonna be going down soon,
<v Speaker 5>so you don't have worry about this anymore.
<v Speaker 2>Mike, Yeah, it's good. Is it bad that?
<v Speaker 1>Like me living in the Bay Area, I heard like, oh,
<v Speaker 1>it's eighty five bucks for two bucks of wings.
<v Speaker 2>That's not bad.
<v Speaker 4>See, I don't I don't want to be compared to
<v Speaker 4>your San Francisco prices, right, That's that's my thought there.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, how many how many wings per bucket? Twenty? Just
<v Speaker 2>twenty A lot of time, so and each bucket was
<v Speaker 2>how much?
<v Speaker 4>I think each bucket was thirty five dollars? And then
<v Speaker 4>like they got me on the pretzels too. It's just
<v Speaker 4>like some pretzel sticks. Oh well, you didn't mention that
<v Speaker 4>you got pretzel sticks. I did, you just he did pretzels?
<v Speaker 4>What's again?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Right, I listen to what could a pretzel call? Right? Exactly? Yeah? Beer?
<v Speaker 1>Give them beer cheese. But yeah, now is this tasted good?
<v Speaker 1>I'm not at the place that the charges extra for dips.
<v Speaker 4>And I know the sauce was included with the pretze's
<v Speaker 4>because they're like, pick your sauce, and I was like, oh,
<v Speaker 4>I'll take the beer.
<v Speaker 2>Cheese. Obviously, it was a mandatory field.
<v Speaker 4>I had to fill out on that thing. So like
<v Speaker 4>a mandatory field, Yeah, we will not let you get
<v Speaker 4>these pretzels until you have picked a sauce.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, okay, last time I felt nauseous eating was that?
<v Speaker 2>Excuse me? That nine dollar burrito I found in Chinatown
<v Speaker 2>in SF.
<v Speaker 5>I was like, uh, well, my god, I got to
<v Speaker 5>see what a nine dollars burrito in San Francisco tastes like.
<v Speaker 5>It tastes like Taco Bell. It tasted exactly like Taco Bell.
<v Speaker 1>I have no idea what place you would even be
<v Speaker 1>talking about getting a burrito from China.
<v Speaker 2>So I got a picture of it.
<v Speaker 5>I'll send it to you can go do some research
<v Speaker 5>and see if it's even still open by the time
<v Speaker 5>you get there.
<v Speaker 2>That's cheap, right for San Francisco. Yeah, that's cheap. That's cheap,
<v Speaker 2>like here for a burrito now, Like yeah, So it
<v Speaker 2>was like that, what is this thing you guys have
<v Speaker 2>Cadoba in Ohio? Yeah?
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, the way when I've ever been to was in Cleveland.
<v Speaker 2>I think it closed. There's not a ton of them,
<v Speaker 2>not a I'm.
<v Speaker 3>Gonna kick out, just like if Taco Bell graduated high school.
<v Speaker 3>It's not that impressive. I just it's like, come on, yeah,
<v Speaker 3>come on, is.
<v Speaker 2>Like a Chotle. It's like a Chipotle, right, It's very
<v Speaker 2>like liquid.
<v Speaker 4>That was their big differentiator was that they had like
<v Speaker 4>good caso. I'm a hot heead guy though you know
<v Speaker 4>you know this.
<v Speaker 2>Ohio, that's Ohio. I'm not going to get you know what.
<v Speaker 2>We're not going to get sick from eating lobster rolls.
<v Speaker 1>Baby goddamn right, that's right.
<v Speaker 4>A large opportunity to get sick from lobster thinking. It
<v Speaker 4>was both making me feel terrible and good at the
<v Speaker 4>same time.

<v Speaker 2>It's like it's a boring state.
<v Speaker 5>Objectively on this you want to do a lot of
<v Speaker 5>those socials, Like there's this guy that like will go
<v Speaker 5>to his co workers and just be like, hey, like
<v Speaker 5>what country or like what city has the most Spanish speakers?
<v Speaker 5>You guys want to guess city on the most Spanish.
<v Speaker 2>Speakers somewhere in Texas.
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna as Santa Antonio.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, okay, wow, All American City is very good.
<v Speaker 4>Oh he said in the world, the world, the US.
<v Speaker 4>I swear to God, you said the US. I swear
<v Speaker 4>he did. I thought he did.
<v Speaker 2>I thought he said the world. Okay, So in the world,
<v Speaker 2>all right, Mexico City.
<v Speaker 4>Anyone else want to guess Spanish?
<v Speaker 5>Yes, Spanish, Madrid? Oka, I'm very good, guess it is
<v Speaker 5>Mexico City. Mexico City, one of the biggest cities in
<v Speaker 5>the world.
<v Speaker 4>But I wanted to be different.
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, you want to be clever. Yeah, I love like geography.
<v Speaker 5>Even though I know shit about it.
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I'm a big yeah guy. That's Google Maps.
<v Speaker 2>I'm bout to do this New Orleans trip. I'm put
<v Speaker 2>together whole fucking map and for everyone there, got a
<v Speaker 2>whole itinerary, got the road trip thing planning out.
<v Speaker 4>I'm really worried now that Jeff did say the world
<v Speaker 4>and we just all heard us.
<v Speaker 2>He said us.
<v Speaker 5>I think I might have said both, because I definitely
<v Speaker 5>said world at one point before you guys.
<v Speaker 2>All right, okay, let me ask you guys a question.
<v Speaker 2>I had a realization, I think fifteen minutes before we
<v Speaker 2>got on this call. I think I might have invented podcasts,
<v Speaker 2>and I just want to see why by you and
<v Speaker 2>see if I can take that claim. Alex Boniello sent
<v Speaker 2>me several voice messages this morning, yelling at me because
<v Speaker 2>I think it was on fire Escape or something could
<v Speaker 2>be anywhere. Really, I was shit talking Lord of the Rings,
<v Speaker 2>and he left a very yelly, angry, driving voice memo
<v Speaker 2>being like, Dan, I hate this because I know you
<v Speaker 2>and I know why you do this, and I know
<v Speaker 2>you're trolling, and I know you also believe it about
<v Speaker 2>Lord of the Rings, but it gets a rise out
<v Speaker 2>of people, and that's why you keep doing it and
<v Speaker 2>you lean into it. Now I shouldn't be falling for
<v Speaker 2>it because I know you better and blah blah blah.
<v Speaker 2>And him doing that, I realized, like him describing like
<v Speaker 2>only doing because it gets rise out of people and
<v Speaker 2>stuff reminds me. And like two thousand and two, two
<v Speaker 2>thousand and three, I'm in the dorms freshman year of college.
<v Speaker 2>Fellowship had come out recently, two towers I think maybe
<v Speaker 2>just came out and I wouldn't shut the fuck up,
<v Speaker 2>believe it or not about how much which I hated them,
<v Speaker 2>personality whatnot. So everyone got fucking furious when I did this.
<v Speaker 2>They were like so many everyone in the dorms, at
<v Speaker 2>the bars, everything was so fucking mad when I would
<v Speaker 2>go off at Lord of the Rings. And now I
<v Speaker 2>just kept doing it more and more as a result,
<v Speaker 2>to the point where at this point in my life,
<v Speaker 2>I was making a TV show for a local station.
<v Speaker 2>It was a sketch comedy show, so I had a
<v Speaker 2>relationship with the station and I pitched them on this idea,
<v Speaker 2>being like, listen, I want to do this show where
<v Speaker 2>it's me, and like three of my friends were sitting
<v Speaker 2>around a table with microphones and we're debating things and
<v Speaker 2>not like politics, nothing serious, but it's going to be
<v Speaker 2>like like my example was when I talk about how
<v Speaker 2>I hate Lord of the Rings, it just turns into
<v Speaker 2>this really lively thing and oh, everyone gets really involved,
<v Speaker 2>and I think it would make for good content. And
<v Speaker 2>they didn't see the vision and they didn't green light
<v Speaker 2>the show. So I think the fucking invented podcast it
<v Speaker 2>didn't get Greenland Radio.
<v Speaker 5>That's a talk show, like if it's on TV, right,
<v Speaker 5>we like it sounds like crossfire from it also sounds like.
<v Speaker 2>That's the thing. It's like, that's like Bill O'Riley was
<v Speaker 2>big yeah Riley yelling at people. Think it was like
<v Speaker 2>about Lord of the Rings. Guys, he's right. I checked
<v Speaker 2>the patent office. Sure, okay, well never mind. Yeah.
<v Speaker 3>And also I invented the high five everyone. I was
<v Speaker 3>the first to do it in nineteen eighty one or three.
<v Speaker 3>Sorry it was sick and they were a fucking.
<v Speaker 2>This is kind of a sobering thing too, and I realized, like,
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing the same fucking ship. Yeah, maybe new gimmick here, brother,
<v Speaker 2>new material I get. I get a dime every time
<v Speaker 2>everyone does a high five.
<v Speaker 5>You you did that with Dusty Baker, You and you
<v Speaker 5>and him invented the high five. That's actually the guy
<v Speaker 5>who invented the high five, which is a crazy thing
<v Speaker 5>that I.
<v Speaker 2>Also have ten percent of thumbs up. And that's sick too, really.
<v Speaker 1>Like, do you have like a part of a shaka
<v Speaker 1>at all?
<v Speaker 3>Did you know that's actually still very much litigation, right
<v Speaker 3>or subject?
<v Speaker 1>I wish you wouldn't bring that up, but I was
<v Speaker 1>gonna say my point of comparison was, Dan, this sounds
<v Speaker 1>like the view, and the view was Did they yell
<v Speaker 1>at each.
<v Speaker 2>Other on the view? Yes? Animated?
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, sounds like it almost sounds like you're trying to
<v Speaker 3>take credit for discourse, for human conversation.
<v Speaker 2>Can you point to a place that existed before me? Me? Right,
<v Speaker 2>I can't.
<v Speaker 1>Theratic seminar perhaps, yeah, Socratic method, but never.
<v Speaker 2>Yelling about stupid stuff? Right, What was the first person
<v Speaker 2>I argue about stupid stuff?
<v Speaker 3>You were the first one to have a dumb conversation,
<v Speaker 3>so we can't take that away.
<v Speaker 1>From speak about dumb conversations. You know, we've had a
<v Speaker 1>lot of hot dog talk, and I think about hot
<v Speaker 1>dogs a lot talk talk Dan congratulations for getting on
<v Speaker 1>the board.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, man, thank you for pulling so specifically for that.
<v Speaker 1>By the way, now we're we're I'm not trying to
<v Speaker 1>forward the or push the Catholic agenda, but Wiener. You know,
<v Speaker 1>we're in the Lenten season, so sometimes we'll see fast
<v Speaker 1>food chains ramp up their fish products, right, fish filets.
<v Speaker 4>I'm not eating a fish hot dog fish dogs.
<v Speaker 1>Wait, just wait now, we don't have any of the
<v Speaker 1>Bay Area, but apparently Wiener Schnitzel is selling the sea dog.
<v Speaker 4>Now is it made out of inmitation crab, because then
<v Speaker 4>I might consider it.
<v Speaker 2>No, it's just like a horizontal fish filet. Wait, this
<v Speaker 2>is a chain called Wiener Snitzel. Yes, yeah, Does anyone
<v Speaker 2>on this show have one within door dash range? No,
<v Speaker 2>we could do it by the end of the show.
<v Speaker 2>I'm not gonna. I just took my zampie. I'm not
<v Speaker 2>in the mood for anything.
<v Speaker 4>I remember how I said I was nauseous. I'm not
<v Speaker 4>a fucking fish hot dog right now.
<v Speaker 1>But it's not a sausage. It's just like a fried
<v Speaker 1>fish patty.
<v Speaker 3>But it's long, so it doesn't have like hot dog
<v Speaker 3>adjacent properties.
<v Speaker 2>It's got tartar sauce.
<v Speaker 1>It's got like the saddest slice of cheese.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's fished the long way fish the long Yes, Okay,
<v Speaker 2>I've always felt wiener w E I is this w
<v Speaker 2>I E I E? Yeah, okay, I don't think we
<v Speaker 2>have them here now, Okay.
<v Speaker 1>Well, I just wanted to bring that to everyone's attention,
<v Speaker 1>just because the sea dog just sounds disgusting. It's bad,
<v Speaker 1>It's real bad.
<v Speaker 2>I don't like it. How dare you? I can't believe
<v Speaker 2>you've done this.
<v Speaker 1>Well to make good on it. I would like to
<v Speaker 1>talk about video games, because we can all agree on those, right, Yes.
<v Speaker 2>Let's talk about that Prime four first. I'm sorry speaking of.
<v Speaker 5>There's a Wiener in the Midwest. We can go to
<v Speaker 5>it on our road trip.
<v Speaker 1>Oh well, but the sea dog might be retired by then.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, do you have any let it over sea dogs?
<v Speaker 4>That was just a joke about how we agree on
<v Speaker 4>games all the times, but actually on that one we didn't.
<v Speaker 2>I did think about that last night because I watched
<v Speaker 2>Bonk Beat Residue Will Requiem, and uh just we were
<v Speaker 2>talking about it, man, just the highs and loads like
<v Speaker 2>or just the highs, the different highs and and different,
<v Speaker 2>you know, going from all this tension to this action
<v Speaker 2>that the ways does so many different things in such
<v Speaker 2>a memorable way that I'm gonna remember forever. And I
<v Speaker 2>do remember thinking like, well, we're talking about it, like
<v Speaker 2>I am gonna remember this game so much more than
<v Speaker 2>Metro Time. Absolutely weird.
<v Speaker 1>I saw a really fun video saying like all the
<v Speaker 1>parrying and RI nine is ridiculous, and they just proceeded
<v Speaker 1>to show like stupid not real examples, like you know
<v Speaker 1>the scene where there's like car crashes happening where leone
<v Speaker 1>is at right, Uh, someone just like stood by where
<v Speaker 1>they knew one of the cars was going to be
<v Speaker 1>and pressed the perry.
<v Speaker 2>Button to make it look like the other way.
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I love that anything with that stupid dan.
<v Speaker 4>Did Kayla insert ARI nine into her rankings?
<v Speaker 2>Where did it fall?
<v Speaker 1>No?
<v Speaker 4>You know she has me.
<v Speaker 2>I was watching Bonk be Bonk still working on it. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>yeah it though so although no, she she stopped streaming
<v Speaker 2>last time when she got to the police station, and
<v Speaker 2>then she was doing a whole rant about it, like wow,
<v Speaker 2>I was really liking this game until now, but now
<v Speaker 2>it's reminding me of RI two. Remake the worst one,
<v Speaker 2>so she's ready to hate it any of its reminding
<v Speaker 2>her of ri two.
<v Speaker 4>Hey man, maybe make her happier.
<v Speaker 1>I think we can actually all agree on this game. Dan,
<v Speaker 1>you've been playing Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>I beat it? Uh over the weekend?
<v Speaker 2>You beat it? Why? How it's on switch too, and
<v Speaker 2>it's it's pretty good?
<v Speaker 5>What was the what was just like the play through
<v Speaker 5>this time? Did you just do like the basic like, hey,
<v Speaker 5>I'm going to go to the four big guys, make
<v Speaker 5>the final boss fight as easy as possible and that
<v Speaker 5>that sort of thing, or did you like maybe rush
<v Speaker 5>to the to the final boss fight early?
<v Speaker 2>Like what'd you do? I So I actually started it
<v Speaker 2>when the switch to edition came out. I remember the
<v Speaker 2>round and see it, So I remember I played a
<v Speaker 2>couple of Divine and stuff like that, and I just
<v Speaker 2>kind of picked it up again because I'm kind of
<v Speaker 2>in a lull where I don't really have a lot
<v Speaker 2>I'm working on right now game wise, and I was like,
<v Speaker 2>I'll just go back in and so like I was
<v Speaker 2>a like Chrystian desert of course. Yeah, I was at
<v Speaker 2>like fifty shrines when I beat it so enough to
<v Speaker 2>get the Master Sword, and I did kind of bline
<v Speaker 2>to most of the Divine Beasts, and I really thought
<v Speaker 2>it was going to be not as. I didn't think
<v Speaker 2>it was going to be as replayable as like virtually
<v Speaker 2>every other Zelda game, because it is so expiration heavy
<v Speaker 2>and discovery based. Scovery is the part of it. I mean,
<v Speaker 2>it's been a long that game came out a while ago.
<v Speaker 2>Now I almost tend to I don't, and I don't
<v Speaker 2>remember every little thing or every little side quest, and
<v Speaker 2>like there's all the like DLC stuff I had rest
<v Speaker 2>around with, and the Hero's Journey shows you, like where
<v Speaker 2>you spinning. Sorry, I didn't know.
<v Speaker 4>The planet's spinning.
<v Speaker 2>Thanks you talking flower. Thanks We're not talking about that
<v Speaker 2>right now, but thank you flower.
<v Speaker 5>The Hero's Journey thing where it shows you the path
<v Speaker 5>he went on, I did that, And I'm like, I played
<v Speaker 5>this game for so long, and there's like corners of
<v Speaker 5>like every area that I never even went to, so
<v Speaker 5>you could really play it like a new game each time.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And I went in a different order. I went
<v Speaker 2>to Rita Village Rito Village first because I wanted to
<v Speaker 2>get the Ravollis Gale because I used that so much
<v Speaker 2>and everything, and I got some of the DLC stuff
<v Speaker 2>where it's like you can just teleport your horse in
<v Speaker 2>from anywhere and it doesn't have to be near you
<v Speaker 2>or taken out of the stable or whatever. Yeah, it's
<v Speaker 2>it's just tremendous. And that switched to versions awesome. You
<v Speaker 2>really notice when you go to like the Lost Woods
<v Speaker 2>or Cocka eco village, these places where it's like noticeably
<v Speaker 2>chugged before and now it's like this just runs great. Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I don't know, I just loved it, and
<v Speaker 2>it's a much better second play than I think I
<v Speaker 2>would have expected.
<v Speaker 4>I was just watching it play it on stream. I'm
<v Speaker 4>still you know, even though I've played it myself on
<v Speaker 4>switch to. Every time I see that game running at
<v Speaker 4>sixty frings per second, I'm still just like, wow, that's
<v Speaker 4>really cool.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's donning have you done the DLC stuff. Like
<v Speaker 2>there was this like sword trial to Motorcycle where it's
<v Speaker 2>like if you beat this, you're gonna get no the
<v Speaker 2>motorcycles in that firsteal'll see. I think it was the
<v Speaker 2>second one to this like Trials of the Sword where
<v Speaker 2>if you beat it, the Master Sword is permanently at
<v Speaker 2>like sixty damage like that sounds fucking awesome. And I
<v Speaker 2>started it and it's insane. It's really like that the
<v Speaker 2>Ventide Island type thing where it's like you're just naked. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>it's just like, all right, here's like a few enemies
<v Speaker 2>figured out, throw some rocks at him. I don't know,
<v Speaker 2>kill one of them, and then you get like a
<v Speaker 2>sauce or something, but grub. Actually this I would love
<v Speaker 2>to watch you try this. Give this a shot. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>and don't even look up how much there is because
<v Speaker 2>I just started it. And you have to at least
<v Speaker 2>get to the Lost Woods and I think at the
<v Speaker 2>Master Sword, so you could probably if you already have
<v Speaker 2>your save, you could probably just do that. It is
<v Speaker 2>the puzzles you kind of have to do where it's like, okay,
<v Speaker 2>and climb this tower and if I can knock this
<v Speaker 2>dude out, there's three explosive barrels I can throw down
<v Speaker 2>and try to take them out that way, and I
<v Speaker 2>can float down and try to like sneak attack this
<v Speaker 2>one guy. You really have to consider every little thing
<v Speaker 2>you're doing. Really, I did not get close to beating it.
<v Speaker 2>It is a lot, a lot but it's a cool challenge. Dad.
<v Speaker 4>I'm really embarrassed that you said that Blanc was playing
<v Speaker 4>Zee and Dine, and I somehow thought you said Kayla,
<v Speaker 4>I'm sorry.
<v Speaker 2>And then you Antonio for some reason. Yeah, very weird,
<v Speaker 2>and we know you have trouble naming different women when yeah, yeah.
<v Speaker 1>It's all. It's all the tummy twelvels. Don't worry, mikey Well,
<v Speaker 1>speak about old games. Let's go even older. Mike Manatti,
<v Speaker 1>if you feel well enough, please tell me more about
<v Speaker 1>Spiro the Dragon.
<v Speaker 2>Yes.
<v Speaker 4>Well, I'm playing the remake, the Reignited Trilogy version of
<v Speaker 4>Spiro Year of the Dragon. This is the third one.
<v Speaker 4>I played the second one, the reg Night Trilogy, not
<v Speaker 4>too long ago, and that was that was a really fun,
<v Speaker 4>breezy time. I had also never really played any version
<v Speaker 4>of Year of the Dragon, so I thought I would
<v Speaker 4>just jump right into that. And yeah, everything that's great
<v Speaker 4>about two is also great here. It does the thing
<v Speaker 4>that a lot of the third games in these sort
<v Speaker 4>of mascot platform trilogies do, where they try to try
<v Speaker 4>to switch it up a little bit by having some
<v Speaker 4>kind of other playable characters for just a few levels
<v Speaker 4>here and there maybe some more gimmicky things like oh,
<v Speaker 4>Spirro's on a skateboard now, and I actually like that
<v Speaker 4>stuff for those parts, Like you know, one of the
<v Speaker 4>characters is a kangaroo, so you're playing us here now
<v Speaker 4>you're kind of like doing a lot of the jumping stuff,
<v Speaker 4>and one person's a penguin with a rocket launcher homie thing,
<v Speaker 4>so you're kind of flying around it. Like none of
<v Speaker 4>them have as elaborate refined move sets as Spirro, but
<v Speaker 4>playing as them a little bit here and there, I enjoyed.
<v Speaker 4>That feels good. The skateboarding is a little bit jinky.
<v Speaker 4>It's a bit in the toys games, but again I
<v Speaker 4>kind of enjoy the break of doing that here in there.
<v Speaker 4>But just yeah, playing through the Reunited trilogy, those are
<v Speaker 4>just good platformers. They feel good. They also clearly are
<v Speaker 4>games that would be fun to one hundred percent. I'm
<v Speaker 4>probably not going to, but the idea of like, oh,
<v Speaker 4>like you know, really sweeping this thing up and the
<v Speaker 4>game gives you a good idea of where everything is.
<v Speaker 4>You're never going to be like, where's the last gym
<v Speaker 4>they get pointing in the direction of the gems, this
<v Speaker 4>one de collectible or baby Dragon eggs. Right, it's like
<v Speaker 4>the Mark sixty four thing, where you're in the level,
<v Speaker 4>it'll kind of tell you which ones you need to get. Still,
<v Speaker 4>maybe their question marks, but they're generally not that hard
<v Speaker 4>to find. Yeah, boy, really good one of these. I
<v Speaker 4>hope that those those rumors that maybe Toys for Bob
<v Speaker 4>is just making a spyro for for Xbox are true.
<v Speaker 4>I would love to see what that would look like.
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, what's the amount rushmore of skateboarding video game characters
<v Speaker 5>in not skate non skateboarding games island.
<v Speaker 1>On that?
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's that's good. That's good, Okay, No, Master Normal.
<v Speaker 2>What's his name?
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, he's got a weird name. It's Yeah, it's
<v Speaker 4>like a sophisticated name for the beach bum looking dude
<v Speaker 4>for sure, Master Higgins, Master Higgins. Yeah sounds British, right,
<v Speaker 4>yeah Higgins.
<v Speaker 2>He could be British. I've never heard him maybe, yeah.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, super Invetroland too on Superintendo. That's a that's a gem,
<v Speaker 4>right there.
<v Speaker 2>Sora skateboarding a video game, Mike, Yeah, no, Roxist does though.
<v Speaker 2>Roxist does.
<v Speaker 6>Bad.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, no, it's good like that. I'm on your side, Mike.
<v Speaker 2>Remember that Okay. I almost wanted to say the kid
<v Speaker 2>from Street Stree Shoe, but he's a skater, not a skateboarder,
<v Speaker 2>right right? Oh yeah? Or full roller skate. I think
<v Speaker 2>it was inline that was the yeah, yeah, yeah.
<v Speaker 4>I can't say Bart Simpson because that's a gokus. Although
<v Speaker 4>I think fan Nelly was talking positively about uh Bart's
<v Speaker 4>Nightmare for the Supernintendo game this mornings, and like, you know,
<v Speaker 4>I'm a little with them. That game is not It's
<v Speaker 4>one of the games that's not good. And yet I
<v Speaker 4>owned it and played it a lot of.
<v Speaker 2>Memories of it. Yes, you know, we all played all
<v Speaker 2>the Simpsons games, like I mean, Virtual Bart I have
<v Speaker 2>a lot of funness for and it's like it's just
<v Speaker 2>the Tomato mini game.
<v Speaker 4>You know, sure, But I do think, yeah, Bart Nightmer
<v Speaker 4>is better than Virtual Bart.
<v Speaker 2>I think. I can't tell you what about There's the
<v Speaker 2>Bart Man any S game, right.
<v Speaker 4>There's as games, but the only one of those I
<v Speaker 4>really had was barbarsus a Pace Mutants. I didn't have
<v Speaker 4>the Radioactive Man one the World.
<v Speaker 1>Which one starts you in like a garbage dump.
<v Speaker 2>Don't dump? Are you thinking about Crusty's thing?
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, I remember playing a Simpsons game on
<v Speaker 1>the game Gear game Oh geez, that's fed up.
<v Speaker 4>I feel like the only one that Actually, I think
<v Speaker 4>all the ns ones might have had game gear points,
<v Speaker 4>so you know what, I think it's part versus the
<v Speaker 4>world that you're thinking of or the radioactive Man one.
<v Speaker 4>It's gotta be one, makes sense, right?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Yeah, I had.
<v Speaker 4>I had Escape Camp Deadly on the game Boy and
<v Speaker 4>that game was That was like my most game Genie
<v Speaker 4>used game because I needed game Genie just to make
<v Speaker 4>that game.
<v Speaker 2>Tolerable, make it playable. Yeah, people want to put turtles
<v Speaker 2>on the Mount rushmoorphs of skateboarding characters. Oh sure, yeah
<v Speaker 2>sure the.
<v Speaker 1>Goat simulator. I think there's skateboards in that.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah there are. Yes, it's not bad. Yeah, we got one.
<v Speaker 2>We got it.
<v Speaker 4>We're close than this is gonna take further deliberation on
<v Speaker 4>my part.
<v Speaker 2>Hey, speaking of barbarsus the space Mutants, I just want
<v Speaker 2>to bring up how much of hero I am because
<v Speaker 2>I'm supposed to start Blake Club tomorrow. Right, it's my turn.
<v Speaker 2>It's my blighting around. I have my stuff, I have
<v Speaker 2>the outfit. I was the dentist this morning and they
<v Speaker 2>looked at my ship, and they were like, oh, we
<v Speaker 2>got to replace the crown. We got to replace this crown.
<v Speaker 2>We gotta get we got a fracture on this tooth,
<v Speaker 2>We got a filling we gotta fuk with here. You
<v Speaker 2>got a lot of stuff they gotta do to me.
<v Speaker 2>And they were like, we'd recommend that you come in tomorrow.
<v Speaker 2>And I declined because of my profession. Yes, I just
<v Speaker 2>don't ever say I'm trying to because I had it
<v Speaker 2>on a silver platter. If I wanted to back out
<v Speaker 2>of my plight duty, it was right there, a legitimate thing.
<v Speaker 2>I said, No, I won't.
<v Speaker 5>Was there any consideration that if you did do it,
<v Speaker 5>we wouldn't we wouldn't believe you, like we wouldn't like
<v Speaker 5>we just wouldn't believe.
<v Speaker 2>I knew no matter what, we're gonna be like, oh bullshit,
<v Speaker 2>excuse or whatever, you know, like absolutely, I mean I
<v Speaker 2>would have come in and shown you the ship I
<v Speaker 2>fucking live stream the procedure, would you would? So I
<v Speaker 2>turned it down, So I'm not doing it on in April.
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for looking forward to its.
<v Speaker 1>Very speaking heroes and saving the town and saving the day.
<v Speaker 1>We apparently are all saving the day as ditto, because
<v Speaker 1>I believe most of us are still playing Pacopeia.
<v Speaker 4>Yes, losh, yeah, I'm about to wrap up my third biome.
<v Speaker 2>Hell yeah. So are you in the town where you
<v Speaker 2>turn on the lights? Yes?
<v Speaker 4>The electricity town has maybe been my favorite line. Actually, yeah,
<v Speaker 4>that's super fun because it's like they have very obvious
<v Speaker 4>plots where houses can go. I really liked putting down
<v Speaker 4>the utility poles to connect the electricity really good.
<v Speaker 1>So I hate the look of the electricity poles, like
<v Speaker 1>top side, so I just bury them.
<v Speaker 2>Oh wow, that's clever. Oh I didn't think electric Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>that's that's really fun.
<v Speaker 1>That's right. We have an expensive neighborhood here.
<v Speaker 4>Yes, I also love like like these It's it's neat
<v Speaker 4>because there is that more open area that you can
<v Speaker 4>go to and I did stumble upon that and it's like, hey,
<v Speaker 4>there's not really much of a story here. This is
<v Speaker 4>just where you can really like do everything. And even
<v Speaker 4>now I'm almost feeling like, as much as I love
<v Speaker 4>this campaign, it's cool how this it almost feels like
<v Speaker 4>a tutorial for when you really want to sandbox the game, right,
<v Speaker 4>because like, but it's a full game if you don't
<v Speaker 4>want to do that, Yeah, right, exactly, Like I bet
<v Speaker 4>I won't do that much of the sandboxing, but just
<v Speaker 4>going through this, but it's clearly like, hey, this there
<v Speaker 4>is going to teach you, you know about how electricity
<v Speaker 4>works in the game. This one's gonna teach you about
<v Speaker 4>mining in food. And then I feel like by the
<v Speaker 4>time I go I get through this campaign, I will
<v Speaker 4>have had a great time with that, but also I
<v Speaker 4>will be super well equipped to just make a town
<v Speaker 4>from scratch.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I kind of love that there is a campaign, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>because I mean, like Stardo had one Amal Crossing never
<v Speaker 2>really did outside of like paint off your house. But like,
<v Speaker 2>I do feel like there's a defined like end if
<v Speaker 2>you don't want to just go nutso sandbox with it,
<v Speaker 2>which I feel like I'm early still like I played
<v Speaker 2>the game pretty frequently, but like I just made it
<v Speaker 2>rain as a sloper early bro, slow poke, slow poke.
<v Speaker 2>You just yawned real big, Yeah, so I'm still Is
<v Speaker 2>that technically like the first that's the first area? Yeah, okay?
<v Speaker 2>Is it like a like hey, fade to next area
<v Speaker 2>level two type like delineation.
<v Speaker 4>There's gates that they can't access until you beat that
<v Speaker 4>area and the doors and stuff.
<v Speaker 2>That's what they're yang gott Yeah. I think it's cool
<v Speaker 2>if there's just like clear, like if you just want
<v Speaker 2>to fuck around and like make a perfect house and
<v Speaker 2>like here's my little garden outside and put the fences up,
<v Speaker 2>like you can do that. I've had fun doing that.
<v Speaker 2>But also it's like every once in a while I
<v Speaker 2>talked to the big fat professor guy and like what
<v Speaker 2>do I do? And he's like, dude, you gotta make it.
<v Speaker 2>Make this fucker you on. Oh right, that's what I
<v Speaker 2>gotta do.
<v Speaker 5>You're right right exactly, Like when you boot it back up,
<v Speaker 5>being like all the characters will like have big speech
<v Speaker 5>bubbles above them, even if they're far away, to be like,
<v Speaker 5>oh yeah, I was working with that guy on that
<v Speaker 5>and this person had a quest for me.
<v Speaker 2>Let me go refresh my memory.
<v Speaker 5>I don't feel lost when I boot it back up,
<v Speaker 5>even it was like I've been gone for a few
<v Speaker 5>days and it's been it's been busy.
<v Speaker 2>I haven't had time to think about this. It's really
<v Speaker 2>well thought out. You know.
<v Speaker 5>My understanding is I didn't play those games. This very
<v Speaker 5>very very similar to Dragon Quest Builders in terms of
<v Speaker 5>how this works. And how it's structured and all that stuff.
<v Speaker 5>We were saying about how it's nice that it has
<v Speaker 5>a campaign to like get you hooked on the ideas
<v Speaker 5>of the things you do in a Minecraft game. All
<v Speaker 5>that stuff was there in Dragon Quest Builders, but there's
<v Speaker 5>something to be said about the way that they implement
<v Speaker 5>the Pokemon where it's like that really does make different.
<v Speaker 5>It feels like a good hook to like keep pulling
<v Speaker 5>me along.
<v Speaker 1>It feels like a home run linking it to the
<v Speaker 1>Pokemon ip because I just sometimes like walking around or
<v Speaker 1>I'm just doing busy work of like oh this there's
<v Speaker 1>a patch of grass that hasn't been watered, or let
<v Speaker 1>me harvest some beans, and then I just like seeing
<v Speaker 1>Pokemon interact in the background or whatever. They also do
<v Speaker 1>that thing that like dogs will do where you're trying to, like,
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, maybe fix something or assemble some furniture,
<v Speaker 1>and like the dog will just get up all in
<v Speaker 1>your personal space and look like now I need to
<v Speaker 1>advise what's going on here, what's happening here, and like
<v Speaker 1>they're just just getting in the way.
<v Speaker 2>But it's cute. Yeah, I'm trying to like open up
<v Speaker 2>a crate to get some like dirt piles out and
<v Speaker 2>like venon NaN's just sitting on them.
<v Speaker 4>Get the fuck out of here. I'm so excited I
<v Speaker 4>can ask Dan this question right now, Dan, who's your
<v Speaker 4>favorite pokemon?
<v Speaker 2>Oh? My god, I mean can't tell the difference between
<v Speaker 2>squirrel and bulbosor they are? They both seem nice? Okay?
<v Speaker 4>Do you think maybe the blue one with the squirtle.
<v Speaker 4>The other one's green and has a flower.
<v Speaker 2>Button like shell things? What's a flower bud? That's a
<v Speaker 2>bulb bulbus sore? Okay, I can that'll help me, you know, Dan.
<v Speaker 1>What I'd like to do with you, though, is I
<v Speaker 1>would like for you to make a tear list on
<v Speaker 1>giantpom dot com.
<v Speaker 2>Oh that's a good idea.
<v Speaker 1>Oh you can do that now, because you can do
<v Speaker 1>that now on the website shots out the chuck of
<v Speaker 1>your favorite pokemon using your.
<v Speaker 2>Wiki data, which is extensive, which is great for tearmakers
<v Speaker 2>in there. Yeah. Yeah, I actually I think my number
<v Speaker 2>one so far, and granted I have like maybe twenty
<v Speaker 2>to twenty five, i'd say sure. I think I like
<v Speaker 2>him on chan.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, punching one, Yeah okay, yeah, yeah, he's.
<v Speaker 2>You taught me how to punch things with boxing gloves.
<v Speaker 2>It's very important to do that in this gave, actually
<v Speaker 2>it is. Yeah, yeah, I hate. The one thing that
<v Speaker 2>bugs me is there a better way around this where
<v Speaker 2>it's like you'll see the shinies and sometimes you can
<v Speaker 2>go up and just hit wide to like pick up
<v Speaker 2>some honey or something, and then sometimes you have to
<v Speaker 2>like punch into the ground, you know, and then it's
<v Speaker 2>like I'm constantly making these holes in the ground, and
<v Speaker 2>I like things to look nice and yet in your inventory.
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, I agree, I don't love that.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, do you think I don't? Sorry real quick.
<v Speaker 2>The only thing.
<v Speaker 4>The other thing I don't love is the dream Islands,
<v Speaker 4>which feels like a daily chore, like go to the
<v Speaker 4>dream Iland and collect some materials, and people are like, no,
<v Speaker 4>you should you need to do that, because like maybe
<v Speaker 4>you'll run across something special there if you're teasing me.
<v Speaker 5>But I don't like go there unless I feel like
<v Speaker 5>I need something, like oh, it's like I am trying
<v Speaker 5>to complete something and I'm gonna look for the dream
<v Speaker 5>Island that has that resource that I can't get from
<v Speaker 5>this area naturally. Although every time I've gone there, I
<v Speaker 5>usually do find like an abandoned house, and I'm steal
<v Speaker 5>the furniture.
<v Speaker 1>And that makes it easier. Like that's my favorite thing.
<v Speaker 1>It's just stealing furniture. It's like, oh, this is gonna
<v Speaker 1>look great.
<v Speaker 5>In my This is mine now because I got I
<v Speaker 5>did build that big house in the Electric town. It's
<v Speaker 5>like I got a lot of rooms to fill out
<v Speaker 5>in there. So yeah, yeah, I'm making it look real nice.
<v Speaker 1>I was talking with a friend and she was telling
<v Speaker 1>me like, yeah, I just spent like three hours watering grass.
<v Speaker 2>Yea. I saw someone suck up water and like from
<v Speaker 2>the ocean and like spray it everywhere. Is that real?
<v Speaker 2>I tried it because that's how that clip too. I
<v Speaker 2>think it was my friend Pokemon Steve that showed that
<v Speaker 2>where it's like you got into the thing, sucked it
<v Speaker 2>up and he went out there and it like just
<v Speaker 2>filled up a whole like huge radius. Yeah, and I
<v Speaker 2>tried that. I don't know if you need like a
<v Speaker 2>later I bet that's a later thing.
<v Speaker 1>I bet it's an upgrade to your suck. Yeah, okay,
<v Speaker 1>upgrade your suck. Everyone speaking about funny animals, Chuck surprised
<v Speaker 1>me with a quick look recording for horsey game. I
<v Speaker 1>don't have much to say on it other than that
<v Speaker 1>quick look is out. It's a big year for getting
<v Speaker 1>animals to breed with mugenics and now horsey game. You
<v Speaker 1>are betting on the horses. Chuck made a horse mate
<v Speaker 1>with a Kia and then it made the horse go faster.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and then our best horse was actually a dog.
<v Speaker 1>We need to check out on Chuck. Dogs are terrible horses. Well,
<v Speaker 1>this way was like a faster horse because you're also
<v Speaker 1>like racing them, you're.
<v Speaker 5>Bettingund or something. Yeah, you could settle on a greyhound
<v Speaker 5>and put a kid on there that would.
<v Speaker 2>Look a lot like a horse. It looked like a
<v Speaker 2>we ney dog.
<v Speaker 4>I mean yeah, but I assume we had don't let
<v Speaker 4>the dogs race with the horses because the dogs are
<v Speaker 4>slower than horses.
<v Speaker 1>They do at the track, they do different races for
<v Speaker 1>the dogs the off Yeah, like the real the real
<v Speaker 1>horses and the real dogs. But here they just let
<v Speaker 1>them race.
<v Speaker 2>Any of your dads take you to the betting tracks,
<v Speaker 2>yeah all the time. Yeah, it was right.
<v Speaker 4>He let me pick Yeah, they let me like pick
<v Speaker 4>off horse and I would just take them base off
<v Speaker 4>the name I liked and you had to put like
<v Speaker 4>twenty bucks or whatever it was, and then you lose
<v Speaker 4>and you beat you right, No, no, damn that part
<v Speaker 4>didn't happen, Flowered.
<v Speaker 1>H Well, you know sometimes with gambling there's cards.
<v Speaker 2>I guess cards are in Slave the Spire too. I
<v Speaker 2>just got real sad. I'm sorry, Mike Mandatti, you would
<v Speaker 2>play Slay the Spire too.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I've been playing a lot of Slave Despired a
<v Speaker 4>lot of people apparently. Yeah, the game's fun. I mean again,
<v Speaker 4>I'm a little wary of early access stuff, but this
<v Speaker 4>just feels like the game and even you know, I
<v Speaker 4>just want to finish a run with all five of
<v Speaker 4>the characters that are in this early access thing.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, just go to slate Flower. We got to work
<v Speaker 2>the dog.
<v Speaker 4>But I you know, so I've done four out of five.
<v Speaker 4>Now I'm on the the evoker guy who has these orbs.
<v Speaker 4>He was in the first one. He wasn't my favorite
<v Speaker 4>there and continues to not be my favorite. But still
<v Speaker 4>fun and uh gosh, gosh, Say the Spire. That's good stuff.
<v Speaker 4>That is a good loop, right, even though like the
<v Speaker 4>runs are relatively long, but you know, you can save
<v Speaker 4>and quit, you can come back to it. It's it's
<v Speaker 4>easy enough and it's crazy because I think it does
<v Speaker 4>what a good roadlike is supposed to do. Worred is
<v Speaker 4>a healthy mix of your game knowledge and skill is
<v Speaker 4>helping and the luck, right, like what are you getting
<v Speaker 4>this run? But this game there is a lot of
<v Speaker 4>making your own luck, Like, Okay, if these are literally
<v Speaker 4>the cards I'm getting, if these are the cards I
<v Speaker 4>have to play, let me figure out the synergies with this,
<v Speaker 4>what's going to be smart here? Like, oh, I'm getting
<v Speaker 4>a lot of cards that give me armors. There are
<v Speaker 4>a way to turn armor into damage, stuff like that.
<v Speaker 4>A lot of times there is you know, they kind
<v Speaker 4>of think about these things. So yeah, it's just you know,
<v Speaker 4>if you have not checked out so the Spire and
<v Speaker 4>I somehow never played that first one until last year.
<v Speaker 2>Was it twenty nineteen, Yeah, it's a.
<v Speaker 4>Twenty It was part of my twenty nineteen tour.
<v Speaker 5>I was playing hard Stone and nothing, but for a
<v Speaker 5>year he played Worldwark or he played every Blizzard game
<v Speaker 5>twenty four.
<v Speaker 4>I think I was doing a lot of Wow Classic
<v Speaker 4>or something.
<v Speaker 2>Classic.
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, Classic was great, man, that was what that
<v Speaker 4>might have been when that came out. Yeah, I was
<v Speaker 4>I was in molten Cores fighting ragnuros.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, uh.
<v Speaker 1>Speaking about Slay the Spire too. Upf this Friday, we're
<v Speaker 1>going to be doing co ops Slay the Spire. Jeff Grubbed,
<v Speaker 1>Mike Manatti, Chuck Towski, and our dear friend Bailey Myers
<v Speaker 1>are gonna dive in.
<v Speaker 2>I was giving coould I go in completely, No, not
<v Speaker 2>annoying anything.
<v Speaker 1>No, Bailey's gonna get so mad.
<v Speaker 5>I was wondering, I was not worried about these guys
<v Speaker 5>yelling at me whatever. If she also, I mean, that's
<v Speaker 5>gonna be bad. Yeah, maybe try a run, Okay. I
<v Speaker 5>was telling her like, hey, you know, like Chuck's probably
<v Speaker 5>on it, Mike's probably on it. You might have to
<v Speaker 5>carry Grub Yeah definitely, Yeah, all right, I'll try it.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.
<v Speaker 5>I thought like it would be fun to go in
<v Speaker 5>there be like, have these guys teach me on a run.
<v Speaker 5>That'd be because I'd be annoying, but I don't want
<v Speaker 5>to annoy her.
<v Speaker 2>Grub.
<v Speaker 1>The one tip I'll give you is just to increase
<v Speaker 1>the speed of the game.
<v Speaker 2>From the jump. Yeah, that sounds good. The other thing that.
<v Speaker 1>Because you're such a speed demon lately, because you've been
<v Speaker 1>playing F one five.
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I've been getting into F one, which is a
<v Speaker 5>weird thing. Like the cars are all different, so sometimes
<v Speaker 5>one team just has better cars than the other and
<v Speaker 5>they win every race, and I'm like kind of like,
<v Speaker 5>what's the point of that? But then I keep watching
<v Speaker 5>it because it's like, Oh, it's like a science fair
<v Speaker 5>sort of thing where it's like, oh, they just are winning.
<v Speaker 5>They built a better car and that's the whole idea.
<v Speaker 5>But I want to race in it. And so I
<v Speaker 5>was like, I want to try one of these games.
<v Speaker 5>And I know that it was Code Masters, and now
<v Speaker 5>EA has been making the F one games and they're
<v Speaker 5>pretty well regarded, I believe. I booted it up and
<v Speaker 5>it's like, yeah, I liked it with the controller, but
<v Speaker 5>it did immediately make me want to get out the
<v Speaker 5>wheel and a setup and do it for real. I
<v Speaker 5>have the pedals and all that. It's like, I'm gonna
<v Speaker 5>do all this work to sort of dial in what
<v Speaker 5>these tracks feel like. And learning the tracks is is fun,
<v Speaker 5>but all that muscle memory I might build up, like
<v Speaker 5>playing on a controller is not going to translate over
<v Speaker 5>to the wheel.
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I thought it was. It's well done.
<v Speaker 5>The version I have twenty twenty five has like the
<v Speaker 5>challenges almost like the WWE games, where it's like, we're
<v Speaker 5>going to go take you through a story. And one
<v Speaker 5>of the stories they have is the scenes from the
<v Speaker 5>F one movie with Brad Pitt, and it's like, so
<v Speaker 5>you're just doing some of the key races for that.
<v Speaker 5>And I tried that and that was pretty neat, but
<v Speaker 5>you could tell that that is just them sort of
<v Speaker 5>trying to slap extra content on top to what is
<v Speaker 5>basically just a game where you race. There is a
<v Speaker 5>like my team mode where you can do the you know,
<v Speaker 5>I don't know if you set the price of hot
<v Speaker 5>dogs like you do in like college football or something
<v Speaker 5>like that, but you.
<v Speaker 2>Definitely have to manage your team.
<v Speaker 5>And I'm always interested in one of those, but if
<v Speaker 5>it seems so time consuming that I didn't even engage
<v Speaker 5>with that. But the racing itself is well done. I
<v Speaker 5>could see why people like this so much, and it's
<v Speaker 5>one where it's like if I could spend some more
<v Speaker 5>time with it and dedicate some time to setting up
<v Speaker 5>a actual wheel and pedal situation, I would probably get quite.
<v Speaker 2>A lot out of it. That will right, Like is
<v Speaker 2>that compatible with what you got? Yeah? It is. Yeah.
<v Speaker 5>I have a Lotchitech that is like pretty like it's
<v Speaker 5>like not bare bones, but it's like maybe a step up.
<v Speaker 5>And a lot of games just have a setting where
<v Speaker 5>it's like do you have this one selected from this menu?
<v Speaker 2>And I could just do that for sure, Okay, lovely lovely.
<v Speaker 2>Uh yeah.
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why I have a hankering to get
<v Speaker 1>really into baseball this season, but it was either baseball
<v Speaker 1>or F one this year that I thought like, oh,
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna get really into one of these. But the
<v Speaker 1>new MLB this shows coming out like really soon. I
<v Speaker 1>wonder if this year is just kind of another one,
<v Speaker 1>which usually that's good enough, but I wonder if there's
<v Speaker 1>anything special about the show this year. Uh, Jeff Backlar,
<v Speaker 1>we have to give credit. We have to give credit
<v Speaker 1>where credit is due, I know, because you're raising a
<v Speaker 1>little influencer in the household because this UPF we checked
<v Speaker 1>out and I'm gonna say, enjoyed rounds.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, pretty good fun.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, we were playing and then when I was testing
<v Speaker 4>out the living room set up for the Lego stream,
<v Speaker 4>I was playing it with my brother. Yeah, it's just god,
<v Speaker 4>it's a very good let's play game, so we can
<v Speaker 4>scream at each other in just kind of game.
<v Speaker 1>Right.
<v Speaker 4>It's just a lot of highs happening there, a lot
<v Speaker 4>of intense moments just gosh, just very simple but fun
<v Speaker 4>and like, yeah, I can see myself just picking that
<v Speaker 4>up here and there for a session.
<v Speaker 5>There's a lot of death lot there too, right, because
<v Speaker 5>it's like, once you start learning how the various things
<v Speaker 5>work together, it's like, oh, if I could get this
<v Speaker 5>thing that sort of lobs my bullets, I could hide
<v Speaker 5>up there and Okay, it's kind of hard to hit them,
<v Speaker 5>but whatever, I'm protected. Let me see if I can
<v Speaker 5>get another card to synergize with that. And then I
<v Speaker 5>got the one where it's like, all right, it's a
<v Speaker 5>fast burst. And then I got another one where it's like, okay,
<v Speaker 5>if it were the flex off something, the very first
<v Speaker 5>character it sees it's gonna aim at that character, it's like, well,
<v Speaker 5>that's dangerous, but I might be able to make this
<v Speaker 5>work since I understand what to expect here and that
<v Speaker 5>I got to that last round with Jan and I
<v Speaker 5>just jumped up and fired at the ground where Jan
<v Speaker 5>was standing and he was completely protected, and it bounced
<v Speaker 5>off the ground and just killed him. I barely had
<v Speaker 5>to do anything. It's like, Okay, understanding how this stuff
<v Speaker 5>works together is just as important as being very good
<v Speaker 5>at like running around, jumping and aiming, and that kind
<v Speaker 5>of evens things out a little.
<v Speaker 2>Bit right in an interesting way. So did you guys
<v Speaker 2>play with like the mod that lets you do more
<v Speaker 2>than two players? Oh yeah, we're thinking about it. Someone.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, someone reached out to me and was like, yo,
<v Speaker 3>you can do this, and I gotta investigate further how
<v Speaker 3>that works. I think the cool thing about rounds is
<v Speaker 3>like it's also it's like surprisingly fair, Like just the
<v Speaker 3>balancing that you get towards round three, four and five
<v Speaker 3>are just increasing, you know. I mean, look, it's weird, right,
<v Speaker 3>Like Dib's so good at spider Hack, fucking cooks me.
<v Speaker 3>Like we'll do fifty rounds and he'll go like thirty
<v Speaker 3>five and fifteen in this game. I've just got his number.
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what it is.
<v Speaker 3>He hates me, but uh yeah, I think it's I
<v Speaker 3>I think it's really really strong. Spider Reck is just
<v Speaker 3>like the natural comparison, I think. But yeah, this this
<v Speaker 3>game kind of rules. We'll just go through like, uh,
<v Speaker 3>you know, we'll do like five rounds and uh that's
<v Speaker 3>that's enough, uh friction, so that we can move on
<v Speaker 3>with the rest.
<v Speaker 2>Of our day. M h it's great and you can
<v Speaker 2>move on. Yeah, you know, I think and I love how.
<v Speaker 3>Insane things escalate and how quickly because by the third round,
<v Speaker 3>like someone is op in a way where you're like, okay,
<v Speaker 3>you cannot be explode the entire map like we do,
<v Speaker 3>pull things back, things get nuts, And I love how
<v Speaker 3>like things stacked too right, like especially when you get
<v Speaker 3>like a glass cannon a couple of times in a
<v Speaker 3>row and you're like, oh man, this thing is now
<v Speaker 3>just on.
<v Speaker 2>It's a one shot kill. Yeah. I think it's really
<v Speaker 2>really strong.
<v Speaker 3>I am genuinely surprise it did not cross our radar
<v Speaker 3>earlier considering how how long it's been around.
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, there needs to be a name for that.
<v Speaker 2>John a spider heck this power samurai gun. Yeah like that,
<v Speaker 2>or as a lot of people call them, couch co
<v Speaker 2>op like the cotch co op Lego party with you
<v Speaker 2>last night, Mike. That was a good catch cop really nice.
<v Speaker 2>That was the new gimmicks. It was. It was great.
<v Speaker 2>But we should talk about leg Party as well.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah yeah, yeah, so so yeah, so if people missed
<v Speaker 4>our stream last night, uh the Lego Lego Party. People
<v Speaker 4>actually reached out to us to h see if we
<v Speaker 4>wanted to check out a new update for the game
<v Speaker 4>a bit ahead of time. The updates out tomorrow and
<v Speaker 4>that's a few things, a few new mini fake characters
<v Speaker 4>to play as they turned some of the like free
<v Speaker 4>for all games into two v two mode, and you know,
<v Speaker 4>it's games that work pretty well for like that kind
<v Speaker 4>of splittoo ny one right where you just walking around
<v Speaker 4>painting the floor.
<v Speaker 2>They still have a single version. Yeah.
<v Speaker 4>The big thing here is so original Lega Party did
<v Speaker 4>not have like the bonus star equivalent then like oh
<v Speaker 4>who won the most mini games?
<v Speaker 2>Right bricks? Right, so there's bonus bricks, but it's you
<v Speaker 2>vote for which the bonus brick are going to be.
<v Speaker 2>At the beginning, you can say how many you want,
<v Speaker 2>like one to like it was like ten or something. Yes,
<v Speaker 2>so we did with three. But again it wasn't just
<v Speaker 2>like oh who won the most mini games? It was
<v Speaker 2>like when you're voting to play what mini game and
<v Speaker 2>you could stand on what's one your voting for? Is
<v Speaker 2>like who jumped the most in this mini game rights,
<v Speaker 2>so I called that and I knew I jumped the most,
<v Speaker 2>so I'm like, everyone, we should vote for that one.
<v Speaker 2>So I tried to convince everyone to go in, and
<v Speaker 2>they did, so I got that bonus prick and knowing
<v Speaker 2>that I was jumping through that entire mini game.
<v Speaker 4>But like, I probably have that and it could be
<v Speaker 4>like who got who has you know, could be more
<v Speaker 4>normally who collected the most studs, or you could still
<v Speaker 4>just go to the random one and who knows what
<v Speaker 4>it's going to be.
<v Speaker 2>It's so so good. Yeah, okay that element.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and like you know, I like I kind of
<v Speaker 4>like a little bit of the chaos of the bonus
<v Speaker 4>stars for Mario Party. It was something I maybe missed in.
<v Speaker 2>Basic Lego Party, and this seems this is a really
<v Speaker 2>smart way of implementing that. I think it was one
<v Speaker 2>of the only things that I preferred about Mario Party
<v Speaker 2>gameplay wise was the bullshit stars. So hearing that they
<v Speaker 2>put that in and made it even more fun.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's awesome, right, especially because you know there was
<v Speaker 4>a little bit of like, oh, we know exactly who
<v Speaker 4>won right before when the game ends and out and
<v Speaker 4>knows what's going to happen this weird bonus brick parts.
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, we had a we had a lot of
<v Speaker 4>fun playing that.
<v Speaker 2>Actually, I really yeah.
<v Speaker 1>Did Aj and Chris play Lego Party before had Chris.
<v Speaker 4>Had watched his Sun play, so it was actually his
<v Speaker 4>first time playing it. Okay, awesome and uh and they
<v Speaker 4>had a good time as well.
<v Speaker 2>Very easy to pick up and play.
<v Speaker 1>Shouts out to everyone that tuned in last night for
<v Speaker 1>the Lego Party update, party, in person party and party.
<v Speaker 4>And by the way, we are we're doing a thing
<v Speaker 4>out that videos kind of new through them the week
<v Speaker 4>new members of giant Bomb Premium go to giant bomb
<v Speaker 4>dot com slash Join. We're gonna pick ten new Premium
<v Speaker 4>members to receive Lego Party for free thanks to our
<v Speaker 4>friends made that game. We are going to and what
<v Speaker 4>whatever platform you want? Right, We're not just gonna give
<v Speaker 4>you a Steam code that's not what you want. You'll
<v Speaker 4>ask you what platform, We'll go to them, we'll get
<v Speaker 4>that code for you.
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, there you go.
<v Speaker 1>Last game I have on the docket here, I check
<v Speaker 1>this out. Gosh was this a week two weeks ago now?
<v Speaker 1>Prag Mata, Mikey and I sat down. We did a
<v Speaker 1>little quick look good. Amen, can shut the fuck up.
<v Speaker 2>I can't disagree.
<v Speaker 4>What do you know?
<v Speaker 1>You know?
<v Speaker 2>Heard enough? Oh boy, maybe a backlark.
<v Speaker 1>Then it's just fucking it there exactly. Let's just planet
<v Speaker 1>in the gardens plant it. Yeah, Oh my good, Yeah, Okay,
<v Speaker 1>there we go, Pragmata. This is still I have yet
<v Speaker 1>to get confirmed it. It may or may not be
<v Speaker 1>a Mega Man game, but it is a third person shooter.
<v Speaker 1>I had a bunch of fun with it. It looks
<v Speaker 1>really slick. I like the their take on like future
<v Speaker 1>dystopian designs on their robots, even though it's kind of
<v Speaker 1>similar ish to the Horizon style. I just think I
<v Speaker 1>like how these are more a little bit humanoid and
<v Speaker 1>up looking versus animals, and.
<v Speaker 4>It's like more sci fi, like straight straight up sci fi, right,
<v Speaker 4>like that kind of weird, like so pristine.
<v Speaker 2>It's actually kind of.
<v Speaker 4>Creepy sci fi, like too clean looking. It's too clean,
<v Speaker 4>and I like that vibe. So yeah, I was watching
<v Speaker 4>some some b roll that cap con sense based off
<v Speaker 4>of the demo that you played. Gosh, this game keeps
<v Speaker 4>looking better every time I see it. My favorite thing
<v Speaker 4>in this demo was because you know, there's there's two
<v Speaker 4>parts of the gameplay. There is the third person shooting
<v Speaker 4>as the guy, and then the girl does this hacking
<v Speaker 4>and it's kind of like, oh, you got to kind
<v Speaker 4>of navigate this little face buttons, right, So you're doing
<v Speaker 4>both of these at the same time. But I love
<v Speaker 4>seeing how they are connected. It's not just like, oh,
<v Speaker 4>I'm playing two separate games and that's the challenge. Like
<v Speaker 4>the best the coolest part was she was doing the
<v Speaker 4>hacking thing and there were these giant kind of like
<v Speaker 4>nodes blocking the grid. Yeah, and on the enemy that
<v Speaker 4>she's hacking, there are these same nodes just on the
<v Speaker 4>character and you could shoot those nodes and when you
<v Speaker 4>destroy them on the character, they disappear on the hacking grid,
<v Speaker 4>so you can do the hack. I'm like, oh, that's
<v Speaker 4>super smart. That is so connected and just seems so
<v Speaker 4>fun and immediately understandable.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm very excited to This footage didn't show off
<v Speaker 1>how hectic and how mobile you can get because you
<v Speaker 1>can stretch your brain out to be juggling both things
<v Speaker 1>and like hacking one enemy but you're shooting a different
<v Speaker 1>one and then like firing off your different side arms
<v Speaker 1>to like stun them or to distract them. A weapon
<v Speaker 1>that we didn't show off in our little quick look
<v Speaker 1>is like kind of like a hologram of Hugh that
<v Speaker 1>you can shoot out, so you can futz around and
<v Speaker 1>like distract enemies and get them looking one way and
<v Speaker 1>then pop them off and have more isolated encounters so
<v Speaker 1>you can pick them off versus having all of them
<v Speaker 1>swarm you. And there are instances where they are all
<v Speaker 1>swarming you. Another thing that wasn't in the footage is
<v Speaker 1>that I love a game, y'all with a finisher. I
<v Speaker 1>love a game a gigantic exactly a gigantic bun prompt
<v Speaker 1>is above an enemy and no matter how far you are,
<v Speaker 1>if the icon is like lit up put it, you
<v Speaker 1>just zip over and then like Hugh will, just like
<v Speaker 1>with his basic pistol, just boom the robot automaton. And
<v Speaker 1>I know this is a concern I've seen some people have,
<v Speaker 1>is that they're going to get sick and tired of
<v Speaker 1>the interplay and the conversations with Diana and Hugh because
<v Speaker 1>it's a little child. It is a robot child. And
<v Speaker 1>again this doesn't get shown off super well in the
<v Speaker 1>quick Look or the footage we were provided, but I
<v Speaker 1>actually really enjoy the interactions between Hugh and Diana. Diana
<v Speaker 1>has like an innocent curiosity over the world, but she's
<v Speaker 1>also not incompetent, like she's not getting scared over Oh god,
<v Speaker 1>there's a just gigantic baby robot. It's more like, now
<v Speaker 1>let me handle this dog.
<v Speaker 2>I got you.
<v Speaker 1>It's like less of the lone wolf young cub trope
<v Speaker 1>that like right like Last of Us, Mike, you mentioned
<v Speaker 1>this during the quick look, loves to like shove down
<v Speaker 1>our throats, and it's more like here's it's like two
<v Speaker 1>fish out of water just meeting each other, and one
<v Speaker 1>hacks stuff while the one shoots. I don't want to
<v Speaker 1>alarm anyone, though. There is a clap track equivalent in
<v Speaker 1>this game.
<v Speaker 2>Oh what does that mean?
<v Speaker 4>The communter's like just a goofy little robot that's gonna
<v Speaker 4>be joking around and they can jerk off hand motions
<v Speaker 4>at me and stuff.
<v Speaker 1>Maybe not the jerk off hand motions, but there is
<v Speaker 1>a clap trap robot that is like cracking wise, but
<v Speaker 1>he's mostly no, not the Miles McKenzie that'd be great.
<v Speaker 1>He just hangs out in your hub and you play
<v Speaker 1>like Bingo with him to unlock different abilities like and
<v Speaker 1>info stuff. I am really excited to see what later
<v Speaker 1>in the game looks like because I mentioned this on
<v Speaker 1>the Quick Look, but the two previews that I've played
<v Speaker 1>kind of follow a similar format where you get to
<v Speaker 1>this stop gap in a level and then you have
<v Speaker 1>to go collect or unlock five to six different keys,
<v Speaker 1>and I'm worried that that's what the primary flow the
<v Speaker 1>game will be. I hope that that's just the slices
<v Speaker 1>of the game that they decide to show for the demo.
<v Speaker 1>But what I am pleased about, though, is that this
<v Speaker 1>city section that they showed us is very much more
<v Speaker 1>open of an environment versus the tight corridors of a
<v Speaker 1>space station that we've seen in like all the trailers.
<v Speaker 1>So I'm interested to see the different locales and locations
<v Speaker 1>they will show in Pragmata. The other thing that bothers
<v Speaker 1>me and this is just a me thing.
<v Speaker 2>Here.
<v Speaker 1>I see a gigantic mech suit on the dude, I
<v Speaker 1>see booster jets. I just want him tone slide like
<v Speaker 1>a Vanquishish of course.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah sure, I didn't want that. Yeah, yeah, who knows.
<v Speaker 1>Maybe that's a later ability that gets unblocked.
<v Speaker 2>Sports look really smooth, So you would you just expect
<v Speaker 2>it to work? Yeah, yeah, yeah, who knows.
<v Speaker 1>But like, I think this game is also going to
<v Speaker 1>be covertly funny in the same way that Resident Evil
<v Speaker 1>is funny. Where uh oh, we didn't know that we
<v Speaker 1>made a joke. Was that inappropriate timing? Okay, here it is, haha,
<v Speaker 1>and it just it just feels good, y'all. Like Capcom
<v Speaker 1>has this engine fully figured out. It's tuned up.
<v Speaker 2>They haven't figured out on open world games anyways. Pretty well, Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing a finisher in a Capcom game, and it
<v Speaker 2>reminds me we did that Resident Evil seven DLC. We
<v Speaker 2>did the stream of the entirety of the end of
<v Speaker 2>Zoe thing, and at one point my brother, who turned
<v Speaker 2>into a monster, just gave me a straight up power bomb.
<v Speaker 2>It was that DLC was ridiculous, just swimming around alligators.
<v Speaker 2>Then you get the god hand and you beat your
<v Speaker 2>monster brother to death. It was fucking awesome.
<v Speaker 1>I'm excited for Capcom to continue the heater of a year.
<v Speaker 2>They've already one twelve PM. Oh, I thought he was
<v Speaker 2>cutting down to another meteor. He's asking for lunch. Now,
<v Speaker 2>oh well, I guess I mean I was done talking
<v Speaker 2>about Pragmata. Anyway, that's gotta be out real soon, y'all,
<v Speaker 2>like in a month.
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, very very So who's got that in fantasy?
<v Speaker 5>Someone has to have it already, right, Look, I think Danty,
<v Speaker 5>you also did I get it that?
<v Speaker 2>That is one turbo Sean has that. I think you
<v Speaker 2>might have got that pretty early on, actually solid that
<v Speaker 2>the flower is going to be the new time dot
<v Speaker 2>is first sinking the box itself says it's like mostly
<v Speaker 2>kind of accurate with the time. Yeah, it's it was
<v Speaker 2>a little late on that, actually I got it. I
<v Speaker 2>don't know why you felt confident enough to count down
<v Speaker 2>to noon and he was that far off?
<v Speaker 6>Yea?
<v Speaker 2>Is it? Is it like connected to Wi Fi? I understand, No,
<v Speaker 2>it's just anything right. It just doesn't not It's not
<v Speaker 2>even an alarm clock, So how does it know what times?
<v Speaker 2>And you said the time, and you said, like the
<v Speaker 2>hours it is awake, and so I said, like I
<v Speaker 2>want to wake up at seven. I can't tell him that.
<v Speaker 2>I'm just like you can wake up whenever you want
<v Speaker 2>after seven whatever. It's oh my god, oh boy. But anyways,
<v Speaker 2>keeping it on in the kitchen.
<v Speaker 5>Before before we move on, I should talk about this
<v Speaker 5>meteor because there's gonna people yeah that were like near me,
<v Speaker 5>the like, hey, did you experience that?
<v Speaker 2>Yes?
<v Speaker 5>Uh, apparently I was downstairs so I didn't hear it
<v Speaker 5>or but immediately stuff was like something exploded.
<v Speaker 2>What does that mean?
<v Speaker 5>Yes, something exploded, And apparently people all around the Cleveland
<v Speaker 5>area are like something exploded, calling nine one one, being
<v Speaker 5>like a house exploded.
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't sure on my okay, I kind of like
<v Speaker 2>was feeling pretty tired from the stream, so I kind
<v Speaker 2>of laid back down and then got.
<v Speaker 5>Up later and she's like, it was a meteor. A
<v Speaker 5>meteor flew over like Columbus and then over Cleveland and
<v Speaker 5>it like exploded over Lake Erie, so basically right over
<v Speaker 5>the lake right next.
<v Speaker 2>To my house. It's like how the dinosaurs died or
<v Speaker 2>you guys.
<v Speaker 4>It wasn't an asteroid but blew up in the atmosphere,
<v Speaker 4>so we're good, But yeah, it was.
<v Speaker 2>It was weird.
<v Speaker 6>Uh.
<v Speaker 5>And I saw some like dashcam footage of people like
<v Speaker 5>on so kind of be like, oh man, did that
<v Speaker 5>just explode in the air. Yeah, apparently it shook houses
<v Speaker 5>all around the city and people heard it as far
<v Speaker 5>away as Pittsburgh and Columbus.
<v Speaker 2>So better luck next time.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, come for me space, Yeah, trying to take
<v Speaker 4>me out.
<v Speaker 2>Take an independency laser come down into his frame.
<v Speaker 4>Still a super fun time to see a meteor flying
<v Speaker 4>through the sky when you know we're at war with.
<v Speaker 1>It looked a lot like some other stuff I saw.
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't say where at war. I think it's mostly
<v Speaker 1>just dumb fucking idiots. Anyway, I'm very excited about Pragmata.
<v Speaker 1>It makes me excited for one Musha and I was
<v Speaker 1>less than excited for that or I.
<v Speaker 2>Will to anything Capcom is doing now. I mean they've
<v Speaker 2>always had my attention, but now, holy shit, I kind
<v Speaker 2>of want to go back to Exo Primal.
<v Speaker 5>That's how much I'm into Sure right now, I'm like
<v Speaker 5>I should give that game another chance. I was probably wrong,
<v Speaker 5>Like that's how it feel than most people I thought.
<v Speaker 5>I know, Yeah, I was like a seven point five
<v Speaker 5>on that. Yeah, but like, uh, what is it?
<v Speaker 1>Monster Hunter Stories three reviewed?
<v Speaker 2>Really well? That's like yeah, like I like maybe I
<v Speaker 2>should actually check that out.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, so so good on Capcom.
<v Speaker 4>Somehow, the somehow the Mega bag game is going to
<v Speaker 4>be where they double and I'm gonna be sad.
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, Mikey. Well now it's gonna be great. Uh So, folks,
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna take a quick, pricky break and assess and
<v Speaker 1>pick up a bunch of meteor rocks and then sell
<v Speaker 1>them on the internet.
<v Speaker 2>And then Jeff Greb will talk about the news right
<v Speaker 2>after this. This is Jeff with Yeah, I have some
<v Speaker 2>news here for you, everybody. Let's uh, let's let's start
<v Speaker 2>with everyone's favorite.
<v Speaker 5>Nvidio met with criticism for DLSS's five's photo real graphics alterations.
<v Speaker 5>U DLSS five was something they kind of announced and
<v Speaker 5>then had some coverage. It's an advancement and its image
<v Speaker 5>enhancement technology, which it calls the most significant breakthrough in
<v Speaker 5>computer graphics since the debut of real time ray tracing.
<v Speaker 5>Unlike previous versions that focused on upscaling resolution or improving
<v Speaker 5>frame rates, DLSS five uses AI to alter game visuals
<v Speaker 5>with photo real lighting and materials, aiming to bridge the
<v Speaker 5>divide between rendering and reality. They had some examples they
<v Speaker 5>showed off, and they chose some curious ones. There are
<v Speaker 5>some ones where it's like, oh yeah, the starfield characters
<v Speaker 5>look bad, so when you try to when you improve them.
<v Speaker 5>I noticed that, Okay, is that what the game should
<v Speaker 5>look like?
<v Speaker 2>Though?
<v Speaker 5>I have some questions. And then they had stuff like
<v Speaker 5>Resident Evil Requiem, where we all know what Grace looks
<v Speaker 5>like right now. That is a very popular character that's
<v Speaker 5>popping off, like people are super into Grace right now,
<v Speaker 5>and she looks a certain way, and then you turn
<v Speaker 5>on DLSS five and she looks different. It's not just
<v Speaker 5>the lighting it is I guess that's what they're saying.
<v Speaker 5>Lighting and materials, materials meaning makeup and like yasifying her.
<v Speaker 2>Lip filler face just looks different. It's not just the
<v Speaker 2>lighting thing. It looks like the AI advertisement.
<v Speaker 4>Right, It's just it's like AI doing it, Like, Okay,
<v Speaker 4>that's what AI decides Grace's face is going to look
<v Speaker 4>like in that frame, and in that scene. I could
<v Speaker 4>decide it looks a different way in different scenes, in
<v Speaker 4>different frames. Uh. Weird.
<v Speaker 5>Even if they even if they fix those flaws though,
<v Speaker 5>because that's like, you know, that's an issue, but that's
<v Speaker 5>not my fundamental issue. My fundamental issue is I want
<v Speaker 5>that character to look like Grace period. Uh and and
<v Speaker 5>and she just doesn't she looks different? There are you know,
<v Speaker 5>there are There was an example of like Assassin's Creed
<v Speaker 5>where they kind of had a big landscape and you know,
<v Speaker 5>the lighting looked improved in the landscape, Like there's some
<v Speaker 5>merit to the technology when it comes to that stuff.
<v Speaker 5>I just don't, you know, there's question marks about like
<v Speaker 5>is this the artist intent or whatever. I just think
<v Speaker 5>it mostly looks because I've begin I've been getting an
<v Speaker 5>eye for like, oh, I can now tell when a
<v Speaker 5>character is AI or like an Instagram account that comes
<v Speaker 5>across my feet like that that's an AI lady, And
<v Speaker 5>I just can tell in a half a second now,
<v Speaker 5>and it has that sort of plasticy look.
<v Speaker 4>Uh.
<v Speaker 2>All these characters, the Harry Potter ones especially had the
<v Speaker 2>most AI. Yes. So I I like this feels like
<v Speaker 2>it is something separate from the whole idea of what
<v Speaker 2>DLSS was supposed to be machine learning to improve frame
<v Speaker 2>rate and resolution, and now we are getting this extra
<v Speaker 2>shit on top that. Of course that this is where
<v Speaker 2>they were headed.
<v Speaker 4>Uh.
<v Speaker 2>But there's been a lot of backlash and people have
<v Speaker 2>been getting very like sort of vocal about this at
<v Speaker 2>Nvidia and sort of anyone kind of covering it as well.
<v Speaker 2>You want to hear from developers for sure.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I also want to uh so were they using
<v Speaker 3>the words uhi?
<v Speaker 2>We were they using the word materials all along?
<v Speaker 3>Because I'm I feel like the stuff I saw in
<v Speaker 3>the beginning was everyone's saying like, oh no, they're just
<v Speaker 3>it's all lighting obviously that that can't be true, right right?
<v Speaker 2>I think so. I think they were using photo photo,
<v Speaker 2>real lighting and materials. I think it's exactly how they phrased.
<v Speaker 1>It, you know.
<v Speaker 2>I guess my biggest fear of this sort of stuff
<v Speaker 2>is like the normies will will might like it, and
<v Speaker 2>then oh god, yeah, there's a certain type of dude
<v Speaker 2>that equates good graphics with these football players and cars
<v Speaker 2>look real, you know, Like I think we've all met
<v Speaker 2>those guys. It's like the guy when I was reviewing
<v Speaker 2>Okami that thought the graphics were trash because it didn't
<v Speaker 2>look like a real dog. It's like those people super
<v Speaker 2>exist and they happen to be very loud on the internet,
<v Speaker 2>and it's right.
<v Speaker 4>I mean, it is fun even with this, like you
<v Speaker 4>will you know, and it's mostly people online in like
<v Speaker 4>the kind of video game bubble A bit beyond it
<v Speaker 4>talking about all those looks. But then you'll see the
<v Speaker 4>one person like, I'm really confused, this looks more realistic.
<v Speaker 4>Why don't people like this? Like how you just do
<v Speaker 4>you not see it? And you know you don't feel
<v Speaker 4>just kind of naturally weird out by it? But what
<v Speaker 4>I hate a about this or what's bothering me?
<v Speaker 2>Uh?
<v Speaker 4>At the top of all the other reasons why it sucks,
<v Speaker 4>It's like every time every time I say AI is bad,
<v Speaker 4>there's somebody wants to be like, wow, but it's good
<v Speaker 4>for this and that, and I'd be like, Okay, I
<v Speaker 4>guess I like frame generation, and yeah, I think it's
<v Speaker 4>neat that.
<v Speaker 2>That's machine learning. There is a difference exactly, but.
<v Speaker 4>It's like okay, yeah, d oss, I guess that stuff
<v Speaker 4>seems fine. And then you know, then this is where
<v Speaker 4>that ends up as well, right, Like it can't just
<v Speaker 4>stop at doing the pretty nice thing. Now we are
<v Speaker 4>yasifying freaking video game characters so they look like they're
<v Speaker 4>selling freaking Vogue or something.
<v Speaker 2>There's like the magazine, Oh.
<v Speaker 1>You also have royalties on that.
<v Speaker 5>This does feel like an overarching filter just applied in
<v Speaker 5>the way that AI has been applied everywhere where. It's
<v Speaker 5>like we built this thing and now we have now
<v Speaker 5>we can stop doing work and it'll just do the
<v Speaker 5>work for us. And that's very different than like, you know,
<v Speaker 5>fifteen years ago, I'd being made Watson and Watch and
<v Speaker 5>very became quickly became and that was a machine learning
<v Speaker 5>to It was experts like we're going to make this
<v Speaker 5>thing so that it can understand natural language, but then
<v Speaker 5>we're going to specify it for certain tasks using experts
<v Speaker 5>so that it becomes as good as human oncologists at
<v Speaker 5>detecting cancer. And then it became better, and it's like, Okay,
<v Speaker 5>that is a useful thing. That is experts in a
<v Speaker 5>field knowing what they need, the data that they need
<v Speaker 5>to train this model on so that it can do
<v Speaker 5>this thing, and they're trying to get a certain result.
<v Speaker 5>The idea of the generalized AI come in in here
<v Speaker 5>and applying these things. That's like, okay, that's so many
<v Speaker 5>steps removed from the people I want making my games.
<v Speaker 5>How much control are the artists going to have? And
<v Speaker 5>I guess that leads to Bethesda, who is one of
<v Speaker 5>the studios where like this is all great and everyone's
<v Speaker 5>like okay, even if these characters do look more realistic,
<v Speaker 5>we want the artist to have a say, and they
<v Speaker 5>claim that that's still going to be the case. Nvidia
<v Speaker 5>announced the LSS five and image enhancement blah blah blah.
<v Speaker 5>The announcement has faced criticism from some players and industry
<v Speaker 5>professionals who see it as an unwanted fielder that drastically
<v Speaker 5>altered a game's original art direction. Following backlash, particularly using
<v Speaker 5>after using Starfield as a demo, but those the game
<v Speaker 5>studios sought to quell concerns, assuring players the developers will
<v Speaker 5>have full control over tuning the effect and the feat
<v Speaker 5>and that the feature will be entirely optional video claims.
<v Speaker 5>In Vidia claims developers can adjust intensity, color, and masking
<v Speaker 5>to maintain a game's unique aesthetic. So okay, I that's
<v Speaker 5>I still I'm a little skeptical that that's how it's
<v Speaker 5>gonna end up being used, because the whole idea is
<v Speaker 5>just flip a switch and you get all these improved things.
<v Speaker 5>But hopefully developers can't get in there and get what
<v Speaker 5>they want out of this, And then I really want
<v Speaker 5>the ability to like pick and choose what I'm getting
<v Speaker 5>when I turn on DLSS, because at this point, it's like,
<v Speaker 5>this does feel like something different. Should have been a
<v Speaker 5>filter off to the side, and Vidia has a lot
<v Speaker 5>of weird filters and the and their tools that no
<v Speaker 5>one ever uses. Just group it up with that stuff
<v Speaker 5>and lead the LSS out of it, which has been
<v Speaker 5>actually pretty impressive technology.
<v Speaker 2>One of the things that bugs me the most in
<v Speaker 2>all of the examples that they've shown is, you know,
<v Speaker 2>a lot of it is just with the faces right
<v Speaker 2>and talking about like.
<v Speaker 1>Oh, photography and games like we're bringing it to a
<v Speaker 1>different level, but the lighting that they're showing is completely
<v Speaker 1>unnatural and not respective to the actual scenes that we're
<v Speaker 1>seeing in any of these games.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, even I think in like that initial press release
<v Speaker 4>or whatever from Nvidia talking about it, they're still using
<v Speaker 4>that fucking language of like, now we are creating graphics
<v Speaker 4>of fidelity previously only seen.
<v Speaker 2>In holy works.
<v Speaker 4>Like this fucking weird insecure boner that this industry still
<v Speaker 4>has for Hollywood visual effects, which often aren't even that
<v Speaker 4>good anymore. Right, It's just you're always been baffling to meet.
<v Speaker 3>The worst kind of boner you could have is that's insecure.
<v Speaker 3>But I think, look, you know, I'm not here to
<v Speaker 3>champion any of these things.
<v Speaker 2>You know that stuff especially for post production in uh,
<v Speaker 2>you know, film and TV. It's common. Uh. Like I said,
<v Speaker 2>at the GDC, all the AI panels were full. Yeah
<v Speaker 2>really yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. There was huge audiences for
<v Speaker 2>like I think I had, like the biggest audience seemed
<v Speaker 2>to be for one of the Google AI things. So
<v Speaker 2>did you see the clip of the co pilot. I
<v Speaker 2>don't know if it was GDC, but the way like
<v Speaker 2>copilot would be an Xbox or whatever, there was ye
<v Speaker 2>word the voice, We're like, tell me how to get
<v Speaker 2>these gems and diabloads, like hey, I can see on
<v Speaker 2>your screen here you're doing this. It's like people been
<v Speaker 2>testing that and there was a report like thirty percent
<v Speaker 2>of people just use that to chat to the AI
<v Speaker 2>while they're playing a game. It was that was it?
<v Speaker 4>God, that's the dopian? Uh Is it true that you
<v Speaker 4>like for them running this right now? At least they
<v Speaker 4>were just using two fifty nineties or something. Yeah.
<v Speaker 5>That that's another thing where it's like it's unoptimized right now.
<v Speaker 5>So they were using two fifty nineties. They say that
<v Speaker 5>when it launches, it'll run on a single graphics card. Yeah,
<v Speaker 5>I will see what that actually ends up looking like.
<v Speaker 4>It could be bad it Just like again, who was
<v Speaker 4>playing Resident Evil nine on max setting? Thinking this didn't
<v Speaker 4>look good enough?
<v Speaker 2>Anyways?
<v Speaker 4>In I mean, I know why this is what Nvidia
<v Speaker 4>is emphasizing on because they are now an AI company,
<v Speaker 4>that's what they do. But this, this is what we
<v Speaker 4>don't need post process filter. We don't need to do
<v Speaker 4>it in post with residual nine. The game looks good.
<v Speaker 4>We don't need higher fidelity and.
<v Speaker 2>Need improvements. It's great, it's perfect as it is.
<v Speaker 1>Near proct What is this supposed to be able to
<v Speaker 1>do then with like a more stylized game, right, Like
<v Speaker 1>you know, that's the.
<v Speaker 5>Big concern for me is is this going to make
<v Speaker 5>everything look the same, because it like, uh, that's like
<v Speaker 5>those Instagram fake ladies.
<v Speaker 2>They all look the same.
<v Speaker 5>They all have the same things, like across the board
<v Speaker 5>they have almost the only time we say that yes, right,
<v Speaker 5>and it's like it's oh, there's a one idea of
<v Speaker 5>what this this technology has about what looks good. So
<v Speaker 5>when you say, hey, make my ship look good, this
<v Speaker 5>is what it's going to output. And so when we
<v Speaker 5>have a stylized game. Is it just going to make
<v Speaker 5>that look more realistic as well?
<v Speaker 4>What is it going to look like when it shows
<v Speaker 4>a monster from residueval not just you know, well, I
<v Speaker 4>you know, the AI knows what a pretty lady looks
<v Speaker 4>like apparently.
<v Speaker 2>Or like what characters from like The Last of Us
<v Speaker 2>that aren't super stylized, you.
<v Speaker 4>Know, right, it's going to look stupid and that we
<v Speaker 4>should just be continuing to make things more efficient. Let's
<v Speaker 4>find ways to make these graphs cards cheaper. Maybe let's
<v Speaker 4>do things about the ram shorts, and instead we get
<v Speaker 4>fucking AI lip filler.
<v Speaker 3>Yep, I think like, uh, you know, I I try
<v Speaker 3>and you know, just like trying and understand the sort
<v Speaker 3>of like the steps here and like you know, and
<v Speaker 3>and and you know, all right, so they show off
<v Speaker 3>this this footage in the most like extreme way possible,
<v Speaker 3>right like, they show off the technology rather in the
<v Speaker 3>most extreme way possible, and nearly universe everyone is just
<v Speaker 3>like well, like you know, up chuck reflex right like,
<v Speaker 3>and I I just it makes me wonder like, all right,
<v Speaker 3>what does it wind up actually looking like?
<v Speaker 2>Right? And I want to and look like.
<v Speaker 4>Like it or not.
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna find out.
<v Speaker 3>And I think, you know, I think the thing that
<v Speaker 3>I hope there is a really tangible carve out for
<v Speaker 3>is that there is such a an agency on the
<v Speaker 3>developer end to kind of like steer this in a
<v Speaker 3>way that they want right at.
<v Speaker 5>The likely scenario here is this stuff actually doesn't play
<v Speaker 5>out this way, and it does become an optional thing
<v Speaker 5>that most people don't use, and it's like two percent
<v Speaker 5>of people actually turn this shit on.
<v Speaker 2>That's very likely.
<v Speaker 4>Because you know it's going to be the next motion
<v Speaker 4>smoothing on TVs right, yes.
<v Speaker 3>Exactly, well, which which everywhere you go, everywhere you go
<v Speaker 3>is universally switched on.
<v Speaker 2>So I don't know what to tell you. My TV
<v Speaker 2>turns it back on by itself about every or so. Great. Yeah, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>like the TV will like auto update and then I'll
<v Speaker 2>go into the clarity oppositely, you isn't that that's weird? Okay,
<v Speaker 2>it's a you know, bad TV.
<v Speaker 5>Uh, all right, let's keep going here. Switch To finally
<v Speaker 5>lets you play switch one games in doc mode while
<v Speaker 5>playing on handheld, so kind of a.
<v Speaker 2>Boost mode here.
<v Speaker 5>The switch To has received a system update that adds
<v Speaker 5>the highly requested handheld mode boost setting. This new feature
<v Speaker 5>allows original Switch games to run in the high powered
<v Speaker 5>ten ADP DOC mode even when playing on switch to
<v Speaker 5>in handheld mode, so the switch to has a ten
<v Speaker 5>ADP screen. All the games in handheld mode on Switch
<v Speaker 5>one that have not had switched to versions are almost
<v Speaker 5>all locked to seven to twenty P, so they were
<v Speaker 5>kind of spreading those pixels over there, so it looked
<v Speaker 5>a little fuzzy, a little soft. This should make the
<v Speaker 5>image look quite a bit crisper because it's all these
<v Speaker 5>all these games were also made to run at ten
<v Speaker 5>ADP for TVs, so it should just fit natively on there.
<v Speaker 2>This is a very smart thing to do. It's cool.
<v Speaker 5>They should have had this from the beginning, but yes,
<v Speaker 5>it's cool. Glad they're doing it now. There should also
<v Speaker 5>be like extra power there for some games that had
<v Speaker 5>higher frame rates when it was in doc mode or
<v Speaker 5>something like that.
<v Speaker 2>So this is great.
<v Speaker 4>It's the kind of thing you almost don't expect Nintendo
<v Speaker 4>to do. So that they did do this, I'm like, yay, you.
<v Speaker 2>Remember Nintendo, And like I feel like it was like
<v Speaker 2>two years into the Switch ones life cycle and they're like, hey,
<v Speaker 2>we did an update. It's got Bluetooth now. I told
<v Speaker 2>her them.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they just like I guess they just like unlocked it.
<v Speaker 3>I mean, obviously the radio is there.
<v Speaker 5>Let me ask you, the PlayStation five and Xbox Series X,
<v Speaker 5>do those support Bluetooth headsets because I know the PlayStation
<v Speaker 5>four didn't, like you switch like, I don't know, but
<v Speaker 5>a stuff.
<v Speaker 2>When you do, like the official Sony headsets and stuff
<v Speaker 2>like the Elite Pulse and all that stuff in the earbuds,
<v Speaker 2>they all have a dongle. Yeah, they have a dongle, right, yes, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>so I don't know. Can you just attached bluetooth because
<v Speaker 2>PS three had bluetooth?
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, people saying yeah, so I'm I'm ninety percent sure.
<v Speaker 3>Like more newer Xbox controllers can LARP as Bluetooth controllers.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah that's true. Yes, but they also connect that they
<v Speaker 2>connect using their own protocol on the Xbox though or whatever.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah all right, yeah, either way. It was like, Bluetooth
<v Speaker 2>is a weird thing. That was.
<v Speaker 5>It was odd when Nintendo did add that, especially because
<v Speaker 5>the other consoles didn't have it. So yeah, uh, Nintendo,
<v Speaker 5>you know, kind of being smart here. We'll see how
<v Speaker 5>this actually ends up looking, but it sounds like it
<v Speaker 5>should work the.
<v Speaker 4>Way some people tapping like like METROI Primary Master looks
<v Speaker 4>no better or something like dread. Oh that's not as much, right, Okay,
<v Speaker 4>so yeah, I'll be curious. I'll be curious to see
<v Speaker 4>to test this out, but I bet I probably am
<v Speaker 4>not going to know that much of difference. Like the
<v Speaker 4>seven twenty to ten eighty resolution thing has never been
<v Speaker 4>one that's been super stood out to me. Maybe a
<v Speaker 4>little blurriness if you put them side by side, and.
<v Speaker 5>It's a little bit more blurring the switch to situation
<v Speaker 5>just because that's a ten ADP screen and interpolating it
<v Speaker 5>from seven to twenty so the pixels don't line up perfectly.
<v Speaker 2>That adds a little bit of that softness. But even then,
<v Speaker 2>you're right, most people are not going to notice.
<v Speaker 4>My first thought was the Marvelrus Capcom collection right, which
<v Speaker 4>is a switch one game right version of that.
<v Speaker 2>Let's see what that looks like.
<v Speaker 5>Uh, this just happened. Io Interactive in Mind's eye Studio
<v Speaker 5>be a Rocket Boy, or as it's affectionately called BARB
<v Speaker 5>officially end Partnership hit Man Crossover DLC to be scrapped.
<v Speaker 2>What am I gonna do?
<v Speaker 4>Like it rock Boy instead of build a rocket. Blay
<v Speaker 4>by the way, that's more aspirational.
<v Speaker 2>I like, Bill, it's built a rocket boy. You're right. Yeah.
<v Speaker 5>Anyway, it sounds like that partnership did not work out
<v Speaker 5>and they are done and they're not gonna do that
<v Speaker 5>DLC or whatever.
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, yeah game, yeah, would have destroyed Hitmen.
<v Speaker 4>That's gonna be one of the.
<v Speaker 2>Whenever there's like a conference or something where it was like, oh,
<v Speaker 2>we're showing off like a new Hitman thing and we're
<v Speaker 2>showing off minds. I like, like share the stage and
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry Hitman. People don't serve this, the hard working
<v Speaker 2>people that made hit Man up there on stage. Yeah.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, boy, It's gonna be one of the all time
<v Speaker 4>what ifs and video games? Right, what if what if
<v Speaker 4>Sony did make the PlayStation for Nintendo?
<v Speaker 2>Uh?
<v Speaker 4>What if Atari released the ne e s? What if
<v Speaker 4>we did get the Hitman mind's eye collaboration.
<v Speaker 5>I'm and really, we don't get this because of saboteurs
<v Speaker 5>and corporate espionage and spotes. It was they infiltrated, They
<v Speaker 5>infiltrated Io Interactive and that got to him.
<v Speaker 2>Now you said the word saboteur, and I really I've
<v Speaker 2>been hankering to play the Sabotage.
<v Speaker 5>I want to play the Saboteur and I want to
<v Speaker 5>I want to personally in my life exchange the code
<v Speaker 5>for the nipple DLC.
<v Speaker 2>I want to go because I didn't it on Steam
<v Speaker 2>and I did the adjustments to where it can run
<v Speaker 2>like you know, it can run great on on Steam
<v Speaker 2>and it just has the nipple mode in.
<v Speaker 4>The options code for I don't know about nipple DLC
<v Speaker 4>for Saboteur, so.
<v Speaker 5>On the on the on the consoles, like if it
<v Speaker 5>was part of their ten dollars past thing where it's
<v Speaker 5>like you can you can buy this game and then
<v Speaker 5>you can ext change this DLC to get the tassels
<v Speaker 5>off the boobs for some of the characters that are
<v Speaker 5>dancers in It's shit, It's a game about me.
<v Speaker 2>I did started to test it and just starting like
<v Speaker 2>a speakeasy where it's like they're singing and just girl
<v Speaker 2>on stage full boobs of like every woman in the
<v Speaker 2>crowd is all booby.
<v Speaker 5>The idea was, so when you go to sell this
<v Speaker 5>game used and so someone buys the game, now they
<v Speaker 5>have a reason to give you ten dollars because they're
<v Speaker 5>gonna want to see the nipples. Who's gonna play this game?
<v Speaker 5>And ten dollars to see the nipples? So we do
<v Speaker 5>any without the nips?
<v Speaker 2>I play this game. Yeah, it's interesting, don't want to
<v Speaker 2>go back. And it was pandemic. They did a fucking
<v Speaker 2>mercenaries and yeah, what a full spectrum warrior right there. Yeah, like,
<v Speaker 2>I think this deserves a look.
<v Speaker 4>During the pandemic and I, I guess I just started
<v Speaker 4>imagining a man alone in his apartment playing saboteur buying
<v Speaker 4>Nipple DC while having a conversation with co pilot about
<v Speaker 4>his feelings or something, and I got pretty sad.
<v Speaker 2>Well, a real man, you mean, Yeah, I think it's
<v Speaker 2>worth a look. I want to play it.
<v Speaker 5>I had a friend who played it and he seemed
<v Speaker 5>to quite like it at the time, and I always
<v Speaker 5>meant to go back to it.
<v Speaker 2>I should.
<v Speaker 5>Starfield is finally coming to PS five next month, alongside
<v Speaker 5>new content and PS five Pro support. It's going to
<v Speaker 5>launch let's see here for fifty dollars for the standard edition.
<v Speaker 5>The deluxe edition will be sixty five dollars. The Xbox
<v Speaker 5>and PC versions have received an immediate price cut to
<v Speaker 5>match this pricing. The PS five version will support the
<v Speaker 5>PS five Pro with both a performance mode and visual mode.
<v Speaker 5>It will have two new content pieces, Terran Armada and
<v Speaker 5>Free Lanes, which will also launch in April. Taran Armada
<v Speaker 5>is a paid DLC of ten dollars, introducing new characters, locations,
<v Speaker 5>enemy's quest and rewards. Free Lanes is a free update
<v Speaker 5>for all players, adding highly requested InterPlaNet interplanetary travel, new encounters,
<v Speaker 5>points of interest, dungeons, a new land vehicle called the
<v Speaker 5>Moon Jumper, and a new crew member, Miria.
<v Speaker 4>I want to say something maybe controversial here. I don't
<v Speaker 4>think STARFORLD was very good.
<v Speaker 2>Oh shit, you can't just say that. I agree with Mike.
<v Speaker 2>It was pretty bad.
<v Speaker 4>It was, I thought, yeah, a shockingly boring game for
<v Speaker 4>a game where you can like make spaceships and travel
<v Speaker 4>and actual galaxy.
<v Speaker 2>Does any of this. Yeahs it's on PlayStation now, so
<v Speaker 2>Greg Miller can do play through his thirty seven. I
<v Speaker 2>think he was well the one out there like like
<v Speaker 2>seeing this stuff first, they know their boy. I think
<v Speaker 2>Le was posting about like I just finished my sixth
<v Speaker 2>playthrough of Starfield. The are you talking? Apparently it gets
<v Speaker 2>weird on the on the reprist. Yeah, yeah, but I
<v Speaker 2>just didn't care about the game. What do you think
<v Speaker 2>this doesn't PlayStation?
<v Speaker 1>Like?
<v Speaker 4>Does this even sell a million copies on PlayStation? Okay,
<v Speaker 4>so many games, yes, But a lot of the complaints
<v Speaker 4>like they sound like they are doing something about it.
<v Speaker 4>A vehicle to explore the world, added like the points
<v Speaker 4>of interest. I would like to be interested in any
<v Speaker 4>point on one of those Starfield planets because I just
<v Speaker 4>like when I would land, that's interplanetary travel. Is something
<v Speaker 4>where it's like that would have been a nice to have.
<v Speaker 4>That was not why I didn't like the game as
<v Speaker 4>much as I wanted to.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't know.
<v Speaker 5>I guess I will see what this added content is.
<v Speaker 5>I think I have little faith that it's going to
<v Speaker 5>address the problems I have with it.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Word is boring. That's that's the word of a
<v Speaker 2>boring game.
<v Speaker 4>Just boring, unremarkable.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, turns out Space is fucking boring, guys. I mean,
<v Speaker 2>look at what no Man Sky pulled it off. You
<v Speaker 2>know they had a rough.
<v Speaker 4>And I'm sorry like it if your big plot twist
<v Speaker 4>is a multiverse slop, I just have a hard time
<v Speaker 4>getting excited about that. Yeah, what if there's a world
<v Speaker 4>where you had red hair instead of black.
<v Speaker 5>Well, yeah, like I could see like once you get
<v Speaker 5>into that, like exploring the possibilities, but you're right like
<v Speaker 5>as a concept, like like presenting that to me, I'm like, I'm.
<v Speaker 2>Just not interested. We've seen it fifty times recently, so
<v Speaker 2>all right.
<v Speaker 5>PS five PROS Major Pisser update is rolling out to
<v Speaker 5>more games this week, with Cyberpunk twenty seventy seven to follow.
<v Speaker 5>This did launch with Resident Will Requiem I Believe, and
<v Speaker 5>now they are adding Let's see here, Monster Hunter, Wilde,
<v Speaker 5>Silent Hilth, Final, Fantasy seven Rebirth, Allen Wake two, Control,
<v Speaker 5>Dragon Age, The Vail Guard, Dragon's Dogma two, Neo three,
<v Speaker 5>Rise of the Ronin I forgot about that game, Sinua's
<v Speaker 5>Saga I Never knew how to say her name. Help
<v Speaker 5>A two and Silent Hill two Crimson Desert will support
<v Speaker 5>it at launch on March nineteenth, and Assassin's Creed Shadows
<v Speaker 5>in Cyberpunk twenty seventy seven will receive patches in the
<v Speaker 5>coming weeks. To reminder, this is the upgraded image upscaling
<v Speaker 5>tech where it's like they used the old version of
<v Speaker 5>AI upscaling or machine learning upscaling, and now they have
<v Speaker 5>the new version of that that's been powering DLSS for
<v Speaker 5>the last few years and recently powered FSR from AMD.
<v Speaker 2>So this should make.
<v Speaker 5>PlayStation five pro games that all already looked pretty good.
<v Speaker 5>Even crisper is the word they keep using that PS
<v Speaker 5>five pros expensive. I think all the work they can
<v Speaker 5>do to make people feel like it's worth their money
<v Speaker 5>is probably a good thing.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and even like I don't have a pro, I'm
<v Speaker 4>probably not getting a pro. But they like, you know,
<v Speaker 4>hearing this, like ooh, people seem to actually like this
<v Speaker 4>technology and the idea of like going back to Fompha
<v Speaker 4>seven Rebirth, which kind of was, you know, pretty blurry
<v Speaker 4>looking on a base PlayStation five, and I know it
<v Speaker 4>already looks better on the pro. Oh it's gonna look
<v Speaker 4>that much better. Really, that's kind of interesting. Could move
<v Speaker 4>the needle for some people.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, But hearing all of this and all these improvements
<v Speaker 1>in people being pleased like, oh cool, my PS five
<v Speaker 1>pros delivering just makes the idea of a PS six
<v Speaker 1>less and less appealing.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.
<v Speaker 5>I think this is part of them like trying to
<v Speaker 5>like set the groundwork for what a PS six, what
<v Speaker 5>text PS six will eventually use. But it's, uh, you're right,
<v Speaker 5>this is already a point where this is very expensive
<v Speaker 5>and it's gonna make games look very good.
<v Speaker 2>And are they gonna can they look that much better
<v Speaker 2>and justify an even higher costs for more impressive hardware.
<v Speaker 2>It's it's tough.
<v Speaker 1>What do you think the general populace would be more
<v Speaker 1>okay with a PS six or a revision to the
<v Speaker 1>PS five PRO.
<v Speaker 2>I think we're gonna get a little.
<v Speaker 4>Bit of both, Like, yeah, I mean, I do think
<v Speaker 4>you get the norm he's excited with that six. Unfortunately,
<v Speaker 4>I think definitely got to do the number.
<v Speaker 2>But I think there's a cheaper version that is basically
<v Speaker 2>a newer PS five. They will probably put a six
<v Speaker 2>on that as well, though. Right now it is pretty
<v Speaker 2>rare where it's like I've got the Pro and like
<v Speaker 2>I remember Yote was one where it's like, okay, this
<v Speaker 2>this is noticing dark game better on the Pro. But
<v Speaker 2>then it's like Ari Requiem where it's like, you know,
<v Speaker 2>I played all that on the Pro and I've watched
<v Speaker 2>a ton of Bianca playet and it's like, looks pretty
<v Speaker 2>fucking good on both mm yeah, yeah, I can't tell
<v Speaker 2>the difference.
<v Speaker 5>A lot of times there's like select games, especially from Sony,
<v Speaker 5>that seem to really take advantage of the pro but
<v Speaker 5>not not across the board.
<v Speaker 2>Mm hm uh.
<v Speaker 5>Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salmon's EGDC firm has acquired
<v Speaker 5>five percent of Capcom. Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Muhammed bin Salmon,
<v Speaker 5>through his investment firms, has acquired an additional five point
<v Speaker 5>zero three percent stake in Capcom with the Electronic Gaming
<v Speaker 5>Development Company, a subsidiary of the MISC Foundation. This is
<v Speaker 5>separate from a five percent steak acquired by the nation's
<v Speaker 5>public investment fund in twenty twenty two.
<v Speaker 2>The EGDC, which.
<v Speaker 5>Also gained a gain full control of S and K
<v Speaker 5>in twenty twenty two, reportedly made the acquisition as a
<v Speaker 5>pure investment. This is the latest in a series of
<v Speaker 5>global video game investments by Saudi Arabia. It's also planning
<v Speaker 5>a fifty five billion dollar acquisition of Electronic Arts by
<v Speaker 5>mid twenty twenty six. So a couple thanks here. This
<v Speaker 5>is you know, PIFF is the one where it's like
<v Speaker 5>they do seem to stand off a little bit more.
<v Speaker 5>It is Saudi money still, but it's not necessarily People
<v Speaker 5>always like, are they going to take control and control
<v Speaker 5>the content? There are things that are illegal in Saudi Arabia?
<v Speaker 5>Will we not see those in certain games?
<v Speaker 2>So much?
<v Speaker 5>And that that has not manifested itself, whereas meanwhile, the
<v Speaker 5>EGDC and it's ownership of S and K has been like,
<v Speaker 5>let's put uh NB NBS's best friends into this video game.
<v Speaker 5>Let's put Christiano Cristiano Ronaldo in there, and that DJ and.
<v Speaker 2>A DJ he likes. Yes, yeah, so cool. That was
<v Speaker 2>a guy that NBS personally life like that. Yes, yes,
<v Speaker 2>oh yes, let's just put that. We're going, Jesus Christ.
<v Speaker 2>This is like when he wanted Yokazuna for that one. Yeah.
<v Speaker 4>Well it's you know, we were just glazing up Capcom
<v Speaker 4>a lot because I'll go their games has been and
<v Speaker 4>this is this and you know the fact that they
<v Speaker 4>were pretty happy participants in all that d Oss five stuff.
<v Speaker 4>It's like, boy, that could turn around in any moment,
<v Speaker 4>huh they get you know, It's it's always just two
<v Speaker 4>steps away from a company having a golden era to
<v Speaker 4>being in uh the shitter again. And I hope that
<v Speaker 4>this isn't a sign of that happening, but boy, it's concerning.
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, this is uh, like, you know, these are publicly
<v Speaker 5>very available shares. He could just go out and buy these.
<v Speaker 5>Sounds like that's exactly what he did. But yeah, this
<v Speaker 5>is the guy that has his journalist killed and has
<v Speaker 5>done other awful stuff. So it's never one of those
<v Speaker 5>things where it's like, oh, great, now I.
<v Speaker 2>Feel good about this. I feel pretty bad about it.
<v Speaker 2>This is a shitty thing to see, all right, So
<v Speaker 2>let's get to the rest of these stories here. Just
<v Speaker 2>a couple of more.
<v Speaker 5>As it passes six million sales, Capcom officially confirms Resident
<v Speaker 5>Evil Requiem is the series's fastest selling game. Basically, that's
<v Speaker 5>the story. We kind of had a hunch on that
<v Speaker 5>when there was the number of five million in like
<v Speaker 5>four days or something like that. This is now six
<v Speaker 5>million in a week's time. Yes, a little bit more
<v Speaker 5>than that, but they basically just came out and said, yes,
<v Speaker 5>this is the fastest selling Resident Evil game, which will
<v Speaker 5>make it one of its fastest selling games period. It
<v Speaker 5>should rushed about ten million copies sold by the end
<v Speaker 5>of the year pretty easily if it's already at six million,
<v Speaker 5>and the word of mouth has continued to be very good,
<v Speaker 5>so Capcom a smart investment if you have the money
<v Speaker 5>to throw around, because it does feel like they are
<v Speaker 5>going to keep capitalizing on the success and do we
<v Speaker 5>and more of it, like going from this into launching
<v Speaker 5>a new one with Pragmata, which if it does hit
<v Speaker 5>the way that you know these demos have hit, could
<v Speaker 5>really set the company up for a strong couple of
<v Speaker 5>years now where they have you know, successful, well known
<v Speaker 5>properties and new games popping off as well. That's gonna
<v Speaker 5>be something investors like to see, you know.
<v Speaker 2>And another thing I noticed about Requiem that it does
<v Speaker 2>so well last night was that like everything being so
<v Speaker 2>shitty now, and I specifically think about like that two
<v Speaker 2>K twenty six that are you quit? Look Yeahward's like
<v Speaker 2>everything is like no matter if you spend one hundred
<v Speaker 2>fifty bucks, here's a bunch of other give you give
<v Speaker 2>us money, give us money, give us money stuff. Is
<v Speaker 2>that like when Bonk beat Requiem last night, you know,
<v Speaker 2>it's like, hey, you've unlocked all this stuff now you
<v Speaker 2>can like you get enough of completion points and you
<v Speaker 2>can get this gun there or there's a knife that
<v Speaker 2>never breaks and stuff, and it's like there's none of
<v Speaker 2>it was micro transaction stuff. It was just like, hey,
<v Speaker 2>you have the game, here's a bunch of cool shit
<v Speaker 2>you can unlock now to kind of keep it going.
<v Speaker 2>Like that was refreshed. I mean, that's how things just
<v Speaker 2>used to be. All that used to me. You're so
<v Speaker 2>used to seeing it monetized now.
<v Speaker 4>Right, So, and I think, you know, the last best
<v Speaker 4>selling Residevil game was just Resume before remake, So the
<v Speaker 4>last one. I wonder if this momentum is going to
<v Speaker 4>continue with the next one, because presumably that's a remake
<v Speaker 4>of either Zero or Code Veronica, which are both games
<v Speaker 4>that you know, they weren't the best selling Residuval games
<v Speaker 4>in their original forms, right, so it.
<v Speaker 5>Will be the best It won't be the fastest selling,
<v Speaker 5>but I bet those games will do extremely well.
<v Speaker 2>Like that's is that what you think? Yeah?
<v Speaker 4>Okay, yeah, exactly, Like I bet that. You know, it's
<v Speaker 4>not going to be like the next new best selling one,
<v Speaker 4>but yeah, I think people are just going to be
<v Speaker 4>so excited for whatever the next big Residue will release
<v Speaker 4>is at this point going forward, Uh breaking.
<v Speaker 2>News about to say, I was about to I was
<v Speaker 2>about to ask, this is very exciting.
<v Speaker 5>Uh So the super Mario Galaxy Movie on on Twitter
<v Speaker 5>has posted something. Now I'm double checking it's verified.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's real, it's real, it's real verified.
<v Speaker 5>Uh well it's it's the golden verified where it's like, oh,
<v Speaker 5>it's it belongs to a business account.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's it. That's different the only real one, right, yes, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>the fake one were you buy. Of course that means
<v Speaker 2>nothing that that is not this.
<v Speaker 5>So this is the Super Mario Galaxy Movie account as
<v Speaker 5>a ten second video that they posted saying, hey, get
<v Speaker 5>ready to watch the movie on April first, it's coming
<v Speaker 5>to theaters. And the ten second video is just a
<v Speaker 5>blast of very fast clips of the various characters in
<v Speaker 5>the movie. And if you let it play, it goes
<v Speaker 5>very fast. But if you have a keen eye, which
<v Speaker 5>I think most of the people in our audience, most
<v Speaker 5>of the people on this podcast might have, around the
<v Speaker 5>six second mark, you're gonna see Pickman a yellow, red
<v Speaker 5>and blue pin which like, of course they they're probably
<v Speaker 5>just gonna pop up in the movie, as as the
<v Speaker 5>sirster riggs. Yeah, but it does suggest the possibility of
<v Speaker 5>a wider Nintendo universe, right, this is the.
<v Speaker 2>First step of that.
<v Speaker 4>I mean, you know, Rob is in this thing also,
<v Speaker 4>and there have been really yeah, and there have been
<v Speaker 4>people who have eagle eyed perhaps seeing things like is
<v Speaker 4>that mister Gamon watch or even is that Fox McCleod
<v Speaker 4>standing to the side there.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they are.
<v Speaker 4>Going to want to build up to a Smash Brother
<v Speaker 4>this movie.
<v Speaker 2>That's what they want to do. Yes, Mouser looks awesome.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, there's even other things like oh, seeing Pianta's is cool.
<v Speaker 2>Like ward Ward looks awesome. Wow, this is this is
<v Speaker 2>pretty good. Whatever was the crab boss in uh In two? Oh? Awesome? Sorry,
<v Speaker 2>there's claw Yeah it looks great and it's claw something right, Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>I don't remember claw grip, claw grip mouse claw grip.
<v Speaker 2>Have not seen Fry Guy yet. Love Fry Guy, I
<v Speaker 2>believe Love. I'm gonna I'm going to play Mario two tonight,
<v Speaker 2>like cause you see everyone should Brothers so good.
<v Speaker 4>Don't use the skips. It's always fun to use the
<v Speaker 4>potions to do the skips.
<v Speaker 2>You got it.
<v Speaker 4>You can't do it if you want to see Mouser. Hey, Jeff,
<v Speaker 4>If they do want to do the Spash Bros. Thing,
<v Speaker 4>is it like gonna be weird at all for them?
<v Speaker 4>That like Sony is making uh Zelda while Universal is
<v Speaker 4>doing this, or you think Nintendo is kind of prepped
<v Speaker 4>all this in the I think they believed.
<v Speaker 5>Yes, that will be well understood, like uh, like having
<v Speaker 5>spent any time with lawyers at this point, you know
<v Speaker 5>that the they would like ask all those questions like
<v Speaker 5>is there anything you want to protect? And they Nintendo
<v Speaker 5>would be very keen on making sure that they could
<v Speaker 5>do a Smash Brothers movie with Link.
<v Speaker 2>If they wanted to.
<v Speaker 5>In fact, in fact, I bet they could do a
<v Speaker 5>Link a Zelda animated film if they wanted to, still
<v Speaker 5>while Sony's making the live action one.
<v Speaker 1>So I'm sure if they has a lot of leeway
<v Speaker 1>if they were to do like a Smash movie, I
<v Speaker 1>feel like they would go with like a tune Link movie.
<v Speaker 4>Well, I mean, I bet it would be this Link
<v Speaker 4>and he just kind of when he enters this world
<v Speaker 4>through whatever master hand grabs him, he becomes a cartoon character.
<v Speaker 2>So I only, oh, oh, I wouldn't expect that. Now.
<v Speaker 5>I would expect the live action Zelda to be its
<v Speaker 5>own thing, and then there is a Zelda animated version
<v Speaker 5>that exists a parallel to this world like that.
<v Speaker 1>But sorry, go ahead, Jane, but we would see John
<v Speaker 1>Legazamo is Luigi in the movie, right, Charlie Day.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, just put there just yeah, of course,
<v Speaker 2>put the past and Smash Brothers. See.
<v Speaker 4>I feel like it's got to be. I feel like
<v Speaker 4>that's got to be the one. I think there's one.
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.
<v Speaker 5>I feel like I think if you're if your original
<v Speaker 5>question was like, would that cause a headache for that
<v Speaker 5>specific link, I think yes, it would actually do.
<v Speaker 2>Two links and have one of them be like a
<v Speaker 2>scrappy though, you know, have length like a baby.
<v Speaker 4>But like imagine, like, let's imagine that that Zella movie
<v Speaker 4>is a giant, giant hit. They're gonna wint that link.
<v Speaker 5>If it's a giant, if it's a massive hit, I
<v Speaker 5>bet everyone involved gets it figured out. But I don't
<v Speaker 5>think Nintendo ever wants to have to ask Sony for
<v Speaker 5>permission to do anything with that character.
<v Speaker 4>And I don't know if that.
<v Speaker 2>Would be accounted for in the language, because that's the thing. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>that would be a little bit more difficult. We'll see.
<v Speaker 5>I think this clearly suggests that they are building towards
<v Speaker 5>Smash Brothers, which I think is the thing we all
<v Speaker 5>assumed if you're doing this movie universe. Eventually you get
<v Speaker 5>to that point and it sounds like they're kind.
<v Speaker 4>Of head I just hope they're not doing like, you know,
<v Speaker 4>the thing that that the DC movies did were like
<v Speaker 4>the third movie was Justice League or something.
<v Speaker 2>Time to build up. I don't I don't mean this
<v Speaker 2>to be me.
<v Speaker 4>I'm excited for this.
<v Speaker 2>I'm not happy. I just I think, I just I
<v Speaker 2>what's wrong with me? I can't get excited, you know,
<v Speaker 2>I can't. The original movie was kind of mediocre, like bad.
<v Speaker 3>The original movie is pretty pretty stupid, right, I'm not upset.
<v Speaker 2>I saw it and I'll see this too, But what's
<v Speaker 2>what's what's wrong? Like like we've seen Easter eggs.
<v Speaker 5>If that's not going to get you excited about this movie,
<v Speaker 5>nothing's going to get you excited about this movie.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but that's but I guess that's what I give normal.
<v Speaker 2>It's just a Where's Waldo? Yes, right?
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? I like Where's Wado sometimes though, Yes, if I
<v Speaker 4>was playing Where's Waldo?
<v Speaker 2>And I saw characters from punch Out Good Books, the
<v Speaker 2>funniest thing anyone's ever said about the Yeah that got
<v Speaker 2>me you good reads?
<v Speaker 3>You know before I open my mouth just now. I
<v Speaker 3>said it in my head, and I'm like, should I
<v Speaker 3>say this out loud? And then truth people chatter agreeing
<v Speaker 3>with you, by the way, like yeah, it's.
<v Speaker 4>Fine, immis to be excited about the where's wado aspect
<v Speaker 4>of these movies. But it's all we got.
<v Speaker 3>It's all this My comment is not a criticism on
<v Speaker 3>your enthusiasm at all, Like I wish I could feel that.
<v Speaker 2>I guess like they've been interested in seeing this movie.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we talked about this like a couple of weeks ago.
<v Speaker 3>He's just sort of like, oh, that's coming out cool, right,
<v Speaker 3>my kids very much like we cannot wait to go
<v Speaker 3>see this. So that really helps like flame my excitement.
<v Speaker 3>And then I look for something to be excited about,
<v Speaker 3>and it's like, oh, I'll get to see Mouser, which
<v Speaker 3>is not something likes Mouster's my boy. Like I'm I'm psyched,
<v Speaker 3>like we got a lot in common.
<v Speaker 2>I relate. I get it.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I just And and then when when I was thinking,
<v Speaker 3>I was like, oh, man, is there something in this
<v Speaker 3>world that would do for me what perhaps it is
<v Speaker 3>doing for many Maybe No, again, that is that is
<v Speaker 3>a terrible thing have a very complicated relationship with me lately.
<v Speaker 4>It's a pinball machine for like a franchise that you're
<v Speaker 4>really excited about.
<v Speaker 3>You get excited, right, yeah, yeah, I mean like I
<v Speaker 3>wanted to get that Beetlejuice pinball, but like that came
<v Speaker 3>and went and it's like, all right, I'll guess I'll
<v Speaker 3>just find it in the wild and like, yes, yeah,
<v Speaker 3>my least favorite Safty brother God damn it.
<v Speaker 2>I like to eat.
<v Speaker 4>The Eagles wrote a song about this. You're you're losing
<v Speaker 4>all your highs and lows and funny how the feeling goes.
<v Speaker 2>You get excited about, Like you go to a restaurant
<v Speaker 2>you like and the meal comes out. How do you
<v Speaker 2>feel about that? When they put the plate down? You're hungry?
<v Speaker 2>And I definitely like going out to eat, for sure,
<v Speaker 2>I'm a big going out. You get excited about like
<v Speaker 2>when the food arrives, excited, like and I started going
<v Speaker 2>just say yippe or anything.
<v Speaker 1>But you know, you ever like smell a pie and
<v Speaker 1>then you start floating and moving towards the actual pie.
<v Speaker 2>Gross or the weekend's coming up and you got some
<v Speaker 2>fun plans right now. That doesn't do it for me. Anymore.
<v Speaker 2>I think it.
<v Speaker 3>I think when I get through the hockey rink, I
<v Speaker 3>get a little excited. When I smell the Zamboni exhaust,
<v Speaker 3>they get a little sure.
<v Speaker 4>I mean that's something in general with getting older, is
<v Speaker 4>like you don't reach those super high It's like I
<v Speaker 4>sometimes just think about, man, nothing has ever felt better
<v Speaker 4>than being a kid. And it's the first, like day
<v Speaker 4>of summer. You just got out of school, right, it's
<v Speaker 4>the last day of school. That was the best feeling. Sorry, Flower,
<v Speaker 4>the best feeling ever.
<v Speaker 2>I don't even know. Glad you didn't see his dumb
<v Speaker 2>ass face in this trailer. Yeah, I got excited when
<v Speaker 2>this motherfucker showed up at my door like twenty times
<v Speaker 2>a day. No, I know that.
<v Speaker 1>I know that.
<v Speaker 2>You know I get it.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, No, I think like there's yeah, but Mike, the
<v Speaker 3>things you're describing are like are like moments of uh no,
<v Speaker 3>moment of like childhood wonder right, Yeah, Like, oh, there's
<v Speaker 3>nothing better than like coming home on a Friday. There's
<v Speaker 3>nothing better than like no homework. There's nothing better than,
<v Speaker 3>you know, finding out you have some sort of assembly
<v Speaker 3>surprise or something like that.
<v Speaker 2>This guy, again, this is not a call for help.
<v Speaker 2>I'm just I just want to talk a.
<v Speaker 4>Normal I mean, it's even like with me, like there
<v Speaker 4>was a time where I would look forward to specific
<v Speaker 4>games so much that I would literally just be buzzing,
<v Speaker 4>and like even like going to get the game would
<v Speaker 4>be the most exciting thing. Maybe part is just the
<v Speaker 4>way I get games often now, which is a code
<v Speaker 4>in my email and.
<v Speaker 2>Right, But it's not like, oh my.
<v Speaker 4>God, I just got the code for the new resime.
<v Speaker 4>Oh my god.
<v Speaker 2>No, that's Dan for sure. But I think like I'm
<v Speaker 2>bouncing around the house all the time telling Bunk how
<v Speaker 2>excited I am about everything.
<v Speaker 3>I think, Yeah, like if they did like a BioShock
<v Speaker 3>again that I could really get excited about, which is
<v Speaker 3>been so long.
<v Speaker 2>There'll be a big daddy in the Mario movie.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah right, all right now, I mean Bowser is a
<v Speaker 1>big daddy.
<v Speaker 2>He's not the exact one I'm looking for. Yeah. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>well but look, resid Eevil did it for me for sure,
<v Speaker 2>so I guess I.
<v Speaker 1>Think maybe, Uh, the video game industry hasn't been serving
<v Speaker 1>Jeff Backler food lately, you know, like you just think
<v Speaker 1>you're you're at like the Revolving Sushi place and none
<v Speaker 1>of the roles you're speaking to you, you know, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>like I'll eat them all exactly.
<v Speaker 2>None of them are like giving me the feelies exactly.
<v Speaker 1>You're waiting for like the BioShock plate to roll around,
<v Speaker 1>or yeah, the spook plate.
<v Speaker 5>And it's weird back because it's so easy to be
<v Speaker 5>happy in this world right now that it's just it
<v Speaker 5>does speak to a failure review. I think, yeah, because
<v Speaker 5>everyone's walking around so cheerful all the time right now.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I do seem to be on the opposite
<v Speaker 2>end of that, the one outlier, one voice of dissent. Weird.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, hey, when's the last time you skipped?
<v Speaker 5>You might hurt yourself. Careful, I've not skipped in a while.
<v Speaker 5>Jan Yeah, I'm gonna go out there. I'm gonna see
<v Speaker 5>if that helps me because Jeff's gonna be up broke
<v Speaker 5>my ankle.
<v Speaker 3>I got I take it back. There was a moment
<v Speaker 3>two weeks ago when my new hockey sticks came in.
<v Speaker 3>There were flylights and I was really excited.
<v Speaker 2>There.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, there you go. So you know, maybe like maybe
<v Speaker 1>streamers will start to do this. Instead of like a
<v Speaker 1>hydration check or standing check, we'll do a whimsy check. Yeah, yeah, okay, okay,
<v Speaker 1>like when if I send all y'all confetti or glitter
<v Speaker 1>and then when it's the whimsy check, I'm just like, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>I can't.
<v Speaker 2>Again the card poppers to meet and I'll handle it
<v Speaker 2>for ye Sorry, I'll be excited at don't don't don't,
<v Speaker 2>don't hold that thought up. Don't come to packs and
<v Speaker 2>be like I'm gonna see fucking Jeff. Just know I'm
<v Speaker 2>gonna be That might be what the people want.
<v Speaker 5>It's never around, but I think backlars seem like a
<v Speaker 5>good mood, like when we're hanging out.
<v Speaker 2>I got that guy.
<v Speaker 1>I can show you a cartwheel in person. I learned
<v Speaker 1>how to do one recently.
<v Speaker 2>Could you do a handless cartwheel one of those around?
<v Speaker 2>Of course not. I just learned how to do it
<v Speaker 2>with two a ns you wants, you have a couple
<v Speaker 2>of weeks, but get it. Learned. This guy, this guy
<v Speaker 2>putting our chat here, the little wooden guy. I'm trying
<v Speaker 2>to like place him to see from likes. I think
<v Speaker 2>he's from steam Gardens and oh yeah yeah wooded Kingdom
<v Speaker 2>of Odyssey right with a really good guitar track guitar.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm not recognizing the I believe that the snail
<v Speaker 3>with a mustache.
<v Speaker 2>Who's that is that? As cargoon? There's a straight up
<v Speaker 2>snail with the Yeah, who is blackjack dealer? Koopa?
<v Speaker 4>I think so. In the trailer the area with all
<v Speaker 4>of the Mario two stuff looks like a casino, So
<v Speaker 4>I think he's going to be from that.
<v Speaker 2>They're going to camp.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think that snow was he from the lake
<v Speaker 4>or the beach Kingdom?
<v Speaker 2>And honestly, it.
<v Speaker 3>Sure's a lot of in this Oh yeah, well that
<v Speaker 3>makes sense. I think the Odyssey is the is the
<v Speaker 3>newest one?
<v Speaker 4>Right?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? But what everything's the Mario? H they are? They're
<v Speaker 2>plating everything, that's for sure. Yeah, there's a ton of
<v Speaker 2>stuff here.
<v Speaker 1>I'm excited. How excited Brie Larson is to be a
<v Speaker 1>part of this movie.
<v Speaker 2>She's infections?
<v Speaker 4>Does she still have her freaking stupid NFT profile picture
<v Speaker 4>on X I haven't looked in a long time.
<v Speaker 2>I don't know the embarrassing Yeah, shy guy was in
<v Speaker 2>the first one. Why are they making it?
<v Speaker 1>Is this?
<v Speaker 2>Right? Look? Someone is Mario?
<v Speaker 1>Right?
<v Speaker 2>I mean guy is one of the few that escaped
<v Speaker 2>Mario two purgatory and got into the wider market, like
<v Speaker 2>Shy Guy. To a lesser extent, Sniffet and Hokey have
<v Speaker 2>been popping up and other things. Outside did pretty well
<v Speaker 2>playable character in some games. Yeah, but the rest of
<v Speaker 2>like Burder is a mini boss, all the like actual bosses,
<v Speaker 2>the Mousers, the fry guys and stuff, never really is
<v Speaker 2>especially Warren. You know, war is huge. It's a big deal. Yes,
<v Speaker 2>I cannot believe we're getting Warton in this movie.
<v Speaker 1>Louise use such a good Have we seen the bird
<v Speaker 1>doors in any other Mario game?
<v Speaker 2>No, those guys are fucked. I love those bird doors.
<v Speaker 2>Some of them are evil though, and they're like I
<v Speaker 2>learned to not trust them because like one of them
<v Speaker 2>comes flying off and it's you. It's like you can
<v Speaker 2>never trust the end of the level. It's like it's
<v Speaker 2>a flagpole like bird doors. Okay, those things right?
<v Speaker 4>Well yeah maybe that maybe. I bet there's a good
<v Speaker 4>chance that the entrance to this casino that has all
<v Speaker 4>the Mario two stuff is going to kind of look.
<v Speaker 2>Like that bird the entrance or the exit. Yeah, the
<v Speaker 2>way they get entered, the way they get out. Someone
<v Speaker 2>makes a good point. Bob Omb came from two and
<v Speaker 2>they were already part of the cannon and three. You know,
<v Speaker 2>they're all over the area. Probably was in two.
<v Speaker 4>First, I kind of forget that that's what Obama was there.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you can hop on it. Yeah it's in the
<v Speaker 2>but it's in the Bob Hoskins movie.
<v Speaker 4>About the game two. Yeah, yeah, but that's right. You
<v Speaker 4>know what, I liked the finale of that movie. I
<v Speaker 4>thought it was fun with the bomb kind of going
<v Speaker 4>around the long lay Me too.
<v Speaker 2>Had it is? Yeah, I enjoy it. Uh, the Maaya
<v Speaker 2>statue with the sunglasses. I love that guy.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, we have the We do have the the robot
<v Speaker 4>like Maids from Galaxy as well.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, we should make Clunker guys, they should make a
<v Speaker 2>Warrior Weare movie. Yeah, that's just like I think you
<v Speaker 2>should leave Sketch. That's like the Steve Jobs movie where
<v Speaker 2>he's just like getting his team to make him video
<v Speaker 2>games or something like that and in a whip.
<v Speaker 5>All right, last couple of stories here. Kope is doing
<v Speaker 5>very well. Two point two million copies sold in the
<v Speaker 5>first four days. Yeah, this is it is like one
<v Speaker 5>of the fastest selling or I think it's the fastest
<v Speaker 5>selling Pokemon spinoff by far. And it sounds like it's
<v Speaker 5>just getting started. I think the comparison point that people
<v Speaker 5>made was there was a similar game that launched at
<v Speaker 5>this point in the switch Ones lifetime that went on
<v Speaker 5>to sell like thirty million copies or something like that.
<v Speaker 2>So this is going to do very very well if
<v Speaker 2>it has if it follows anything close to what Animal
<v Speaker 2>Crossing did, which it could. What what happened when? Why
<v Speaker 2>did people yell about getting a new Pokemon Snap for
<v Speaker 2>like fifteen years and then they got it and no
<v Speaker 2>one ever talked about it?
<v Speaker 4>I feel bad about that personally, actually, Dan, it was right, Yeah,
<v Speaker 4>I never I never touched it, and I was one
<v Speaker 4>of these people like, mak no Pokemon Snap. Then they did.
<v Speaker 2>I was like, I have no time for this.
<v Speaker 1>I think a lot of people just love the idea
<v Speaker 1>of a Pokemon Snap and forget that it is an
<v Speaker 1>on rails game.
<v Speaker 2>It's not you're living in the past. Just not.
<v Speaker 4>And then okay, like that, sorry, like to give your
<v Speaker 4>idea of how well this one's doing. That game sold
<v Speaker 4>like maybe a couple million copies New Pokey over its lifetime,
<v Speaker 4>so this is probably already sold more than that, yeah,
<v Speaker 4>or well on its way for sure.
<v Speaker 5>Microsoft reveals next gen console details, something that happened at
<v Speaker 5>GDC as well. Although it's a lot of stuff we
<v Speaker 5>kind of were exupecting. It's Project Helix. That is a
<v Speaker 5>Helix as in it's bringing together the PC and console side.
<v Speaker 5>The console Xbox stuff will be backward compatible. It is
<v Speaker 5>going to be a PC though, so it'll be able
<v Speaker 5>to play PC games, you'll be able to get other stores.
<v Speaker 5>They are getting an AMD custom system on a chip.
<v Speaker 5>It's going to have next gen ray tracing performance. They're
<v Speaker 5>really focused on the upscaling stuff, very similar to the
<v Speaker 5>things that are happening on PS five pro right now,
<v Speaker 5>but there'll be even better implementation, and they're like an
<v Speaker 5>order of magnitude performance improvement to the ray tracing. That's
<v Speaker 5>still sort of their big focus in the buzzword category,
<v Speaker 5>where they're like, how do we make this thing exciting?
<v Speaker 5>And you know, I think that they are weaning themselves
<v Speaker 5>off of consoles with this thing where it's like, let's
<v Speaker 5>try to make something that it's okay if it only
<v Speaker 5>sells fifteen million units, because how do you get people
<v Speaker 5>excited about spending one thousand dollars on something that has
<v Speaker 5>better ray tracing? No one cares about that, Like they
<v Speaker 5>just the vast majority of people do not get They're like,
<v Speaker 5>they think their games already look very good, and what
<v Speaker 5>is the difference.
<v Speaker 2>What do they get from ray tracing a little bit
<v Speaker 2>better lighting? It's not going to move the needle. So yeah,
<v Speaker 2>they at the very least, though, are out there making
<v Speaker 2>the gestures and gestures and talking about this in a
<v Speaker 2>way where it's like, this feels like they're building up
<v Speaker 2>to a new console launch, just like they always have.
<v Speaker 2>So they're presenting themselves as taking it very seriously. How
<v Speaker 2>do you guys feel about this at this point after
<v Speaker 2>like they try to make it feel a little bit
<v Speaker 2>more real with these conversations around GDC. Yeah, I don't know.
<v Speaker 1>They don't have the most confidence, especially just talking about
<v Speaker 1>newer generations of consoles when I feel like I haven't
<v Speaker 1>gotten the most out of this one.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, let's actually do this one last story. I didn't
<v Speaker 2>mean to put this on the rundown and just forgot.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah the Sumnautica thing, you see this, Yeah you can
<v Speaker 2>do that. Yeah, well apparently you can't do it.
<v Speaker 5>So the Sonnautica devs made sub Nautica two and they
<v Speaker 5>were about to release it. One little wrinkle there is
<v Speaker 5>that in the meantime while they were making that game,
<v Speaker 5>they got acquired by Crafton and craft It's like, Hey,
<v Speaker 5>if that game comes out and does really well and
<v Speaker 5>meets this threshold, we're going to give you guys at
<v Speaker 5>this studio a two hundred and fifty million dollar bonus
<v Speaker 5>that you could distribute throughout the studio, with a big
<v Speaker 5>portion of that going to the executives. The game was
<v Speaker 5>certainly going to meet that threshold. All the numbers internally said,
<v Speaker 5>this game is coming together, it's basically finished. I'll say
<v Speaker 5>that I heard that it was finished from people who
<v Speaker 5>were involved in the game and that it was looking good.
<v Speaker 5>And then suddenly the executives at the studio got fired,
<v Speaker 5>and everyone's like, wait, what's going on here? Like oh,
<v Speaker 5>because they're dragging their feet and not getting the game done.
<v Speaker 5>It's like, no, the game's done and ready to go,
<v Speaker 5>So what's really going on Here's apparently what happened. The
<v Speaker 5>guy at Crafton the CEO was like, I don't want
<v Speaker 5>to pay.
<v Speaker 2>Two hundred and fifty million dollars to these people, even
<v Speaker 2>though they're going to do exactly what I asked them
<v Speaker 2>to do to get that bonus.
<v Speaker 5>Hey, lawyers, what can we do to get out of it?
<v Speaker 5>And the lawyers are like, nothing, you're gonna have to
<v Speaker 5>pay this. So he went to his other lawyer chat
<v Speaker 5>GPT and said, Hey, what can I do to not
<v Speaker 5>pay two hundred and fifty million dollars and chat you
<v Speaker 5>He's like, don't worry about I got this. Just claim
<v Speaker 5>that they did that and fire him. And the lawyers
<v Speaker 5>are like, oh, wait, what are you about to do. Please,
<v Speaker 5>for the love of God, don't do that. That's super
<v Speaker 5>not legal. You're gonna get in a lot of trouble.
<v Speaker 5>The guy trusted chat GPT instead and did exactly what
<v Speaker 5>it told him to do. Fired those guys, made public
<v Speaker 5>statements about their lack of quality or whatever, and a
<v Speaker 5>judge has asked that guy to reinstate the head of
<v Speaker 5>that studio because he illegally fired them and broke the contract.
<v Speaker 5>He's gonna have to pay two hundred and fifty million
<v Speaker 5>dollars and all that just buffoon behavior, really baffling stuff.
<v Speaker 1>Just when you think you've heard it all, backler, can
<v Speaker 1>ask you for a favor?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Can you hit me with a dumb bitch O?
<v Speaker 2>Mass bitch. Yeah, how you earned that? For sure? This
<v Speaker 2>is Uh, that's it. That's that is that is on
<v Speaker 2>a level I was unaware we could achieve.
<v Speaker 4>It's it's staggering in its depths of newness.
<v Speaker 5>Uh yeah, really just baffling behavior that anyone in charge
<v Speaker 5>of anything could, Like you pay lawyers for a reason,
<v Speaker 5>but you really you really believe GBT that much?
<v Speaker 2>Oh you shouldn't. Uh and here's the proof of why
<v Speaker 2>you shouldn't.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean, but it's it is the most staggering thing,
<v Speaker 3>but also like simultaneously the most believable thing.
<v Speaker 2>It's not surprising.
<v Speaker 5>Like if you, if you like get to talk to
<v Speaker 5>any of these guys in those kind of positions, a
<v Speaker 5>lot of them.
<v Speaker 3>Totally completely drunk with their position of authority and have
<v Speaker 3>no qualms about, you know, just doing the most obscene
<v Speaker 3>and depraved bullshit.
<v Speaker 2>Known to man.
<v Speaker 5>Wow, Sonata is probably gonna long launch and like have
<v Speaker 5>one of It's gonna be one of those stories where
<v Speaker 5>it's like, oh yeah, eighty thousand to one hundred and
<v Speaker 5>fifty thousand people are concurrently playing this on Steam on launch.
<v Speaker 4>It's similar to like that Slay the Spire thing, or
<v Speaker 4>like Haitie's like that first game is just become one
<v Speaker 4>of the cannon Steam games, right. So many people played
<v Speaker 4>some Nataka, and so many people are going to be
<v Speaker 4>there busting down the door to play some Nautica too.
<v Speaker 3>But I need I'm gonna need a quote from the
<v Speaker 3>CEO guy for the back of the box on chat EPT.
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna need this ringing endorsement of like if it
<v Speaker 3>weren't for this thing, I'm gonna need that.
<v Speaker 5>I Like, I have people in my life that use
<v Speaker 5>chat GPT as like a search engine, and I'm I'm
<v Speaker 5>not gonna get on your case about that. Anytime it
<v Speaker 5>involves any spending real money or real time doing anything,
<v Speaker 5>you better be double checking. You better be like doing
<v Speaker 5>actual like read a book as well, maybe instead of
<v Speaker 5>just chat GPT.
<v Speaker 3>I think I've said this on one of our shows before,
<v Speaker 3>but I am overwhelmed with friends, normally friends particularly who
<v Speaker 3>will not shut up about how much time and of
<v Speaker 3>their job this stuff does for them. And I almost
<v Speaker 3>immediately follow up that offering with my friend, I think
<v Speaker 3>you might need to be looking for another job.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you got to keep that shit quiet, bro, Yeah
<v Speaker 2>I would.
<v Speaker 3>I would tell nobody about this. I don't you are
<v Speaker 3>self reporting in a way that inevitably will lead to
<v Speaker 3>your unemployment. I yeah, yeah, I don't know.
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. And then Chad is bringing up something
<v Speaker 2>we should mention real quick. I have not seen much
<v Speaker 2>of this.
<v Speaker 5>People are getting very very excited about Alex in Street
<v Speaker 5>Fighter six, like very you know, excited to Kenny Omega,
<v Speaker 5>do work to make this character extra hot?
<v Speaker 2>Is that what Meg was the he's the guy? Yes, yeah, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>so I guess he had hot movements. Perhaps that's what
<v Speaker 2>I'm getting, like, yeah, did he thrust and gyrate? And
<v Speaker 2>everyone's very excited about that.
<v Speaker 7>I think he mostly just did his like point at
<v Speaker 7>people thing a lot that he likes to do. It
<v Speaker 7>is very good. He's a good pointer that Kenny Omegan. Oh, Alex,
<v Speaker 7>I might want to try that now, I do hate that.
<v Speaker 7>I'm like, do I want to buy him on my
<v Speaker 7>switch to version or my PC version?
<v Speaker 4>I don't know, probably switching.
<v Speaker 5>Alex married his cousin? What sorry, the story came out
<v Speaker 5>and Alex's story mode that he married his cousin. Who's
<v Speaker 5>his cousin?
<v Speaker 2>Where's Alex from New York?
<v Speaker 4>He's he's New York City guy, I believe. Wow, could
<v Speaker 4>I don't familiar question? Yeah, Alex Street Fighter cousin Google.
<v Speaker 2>And she's pregnant. Oh cool. So I'm starting to say
<v Speaker 2>this is just fulfilling some slash fic Mike, No, h hey,
<v Speaker 2>that's the news. Back over to Chin.

<v Speaker 1>Love you all, Mike from Loveland.
<v Speaker 4>My friends made a cake out of my head a
<v Speaker 4>couple of times. Yeah, yeah, that's true. December for a while.
<v Speaker 4>December that Pearl Harbor.
<v Speaker 2>Day, Okay, right there after December he celebrates that for
<v Speaker 2>a different reason.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, re minds the day that they shot that beatle.
<v Speaker 4>Oh okay, yeah, sure. Keep trying to sew those two
<v Speaker 4>things together. Let's never separate them.
<v Speaker 2>Well, we have a birthday coming up this weekend. Two birthdays. Well,
<v Speaker 2>this weekend is Jeffrey Grubb yep, and yours is next week,
<v Speaker 2>a week from today, a week from Okay, I was
<v Speaker 2>gonna say, I couldn't remember exactly when it was so
<v Speaker 2>twenty fourth your days.
<v Speaker 3>Apart, gays apart, and well two days in a year,
<v Speaker 3>but yees, yeah, yeah, yeah totally that would have been something.
<v Speaker 4>Though.
<v Speaker 5>I'm excited for our birthdays. We can make everyone celebrate,
<v Speaker 5>like mic does oh right, well that come on.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.
<v Speaker 3>Couple a couple of years ago, I remember it was
<v Speaker 3>packs was of yours and then mine.
<v Speaker 2>We were out there for it.
<v Speaker 3>You did an insane thing with gambling for you, right,
<v Speaker 3>and then uh and then I remember the mine.
<v Speaker 2>We were all in the in the hotel lobby bar
<v Speaker 2>and I we just broke into song. Everyone's saying every birthday. Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>That was very yeah, yeah, it was good. It was good.
<v Speaker 1>I also remember seeing Happy Birthday to mikey at s
<v Speaker 1>NO the Game Awards. Todd Howard is just staring at Mike.
<v Speaker 4>Uh huh yeah everyone else, and Todd Howard was like, yeah, busy,
<v Speaker 4>he's too busy planning Starfield's next big deal C or
<v Speaker 4>something I do. I did, I did, We did work
<v Speaker 4>with someone once we was like, why does it always
<v Speaker 4>feel like we just make these live things we do
<v Speaker 4>at the end of the year, Mikey's birthday, I'm like, it.
<v Speaker 2>Just is his birthday. That's how it works out, you know,
<v Speaker 2>there's a reason it's the same. When I turned sixteen,
<v Speaker 2>it was so the year two thousands, so we're still
<v Speaker 2>in like kind of height of like attitude era type doe,
<v Speaker 2>and it was still a time where like wrestling wasn't
<v Speaker 2>coming to Kansas City that often. I just desperately wanted
<v Speaker 2>to go see live wrestling, and my mom said for
<v Speaker 2>my birthday she was going to take me to Worlds
<v Speaker 2>of Fun. And so me and my friend Charlie got
<v Speaker 2>in the car, and World of Fun is like a
<v Speaker 2>thirty minute drive from where I grew up, and if
<v Speaker 2>you know anything about it, like Missouri Saint Louis is
<v Speaker 2>a four hour hour drive across I seventy. So I
<v Speaker 2>thought we were going to Worlds of Fun, which thirty minutes,
<v Speaker 2>and we got like an hour and a half, two
<v Speaker 2>hours into the drive, and my mom was kind of
<v Speaker 2>looking over at me being like, hey, Danny, you think
<v Speaker 2>you think anything's weird here. I'm like nope, Yeah, doeshing
<v Speaker 2>seems out of the ordinary. Was like, no, just excited
<v Speaker 2>for the roller coasters, Okay. When we got into Worlds
<v Speaker 2>of Fun like thirty times in my life, and I
<v Speaker 2>should have remembered that it's not a four hour drive.
<v Speaker 2>And eventually we got almost like to like fucking Saint
<v Speaker 2>Louis before she was like, we're not going to Worlds
<v Speaker 2>of Fun. I got to ringside seats to raw and
<v Speaker 2>so I lost my shit. And I remember going to that.
<v Speaker 2>We got checked into the hotel and it was pretty
<v Speaker 2>high up and had a big glass window, and I
<v Speaker 2>did a swanton bomb from one bed to the other hell,
<v Speaker 2>and I the momentum, I bounced off and like slammed
<v Speaker 2>hard into the window, and I was like, man, I
<v Speaker 2>almost died in the dumbest fucking white box.
<v Speaker 5>God, that's incredible, Dan, This story is like it's impress
<v Speaker 5>of like how oblivious you could be.
<v Speaker 2>But it's like this is not even the most oblivious
<v Speaker 2>you've been. Right, Where is there a color story where
<v Speaker 2>you were like on a plane and you're like, oh, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>I was eight for that one. But I'm like, okay, yeah, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>that's a little more understanding. My mom fucking with me.
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, but that was a good birthday.
<v Speaker 3>How long do you think you'd survive if it was
<v Speaker 3>like seventeen forty and they would like, say, any skill
<v Speaker 3>I place?
<v Speaker 2>I think I think I'm very skilled at certain things.
<v Speaker 2>None of them would apply before nineteen seventy.
<v Speaker 3>Well, just like I guess as soon as they decided
<v Speaker 3>to have like you know, civil engineering and these sort
<v Speaker 3>of like you know, public safety mechanisms in place, I
<v Speaker 3>feel like it.
<v Speaker 2>Would have offed a lot of people, not just you, damn.
<v Speaker 2>Just yeah, I think there are just some natural guard
<v Speaker 2>rails in the universe that'd keep me safe. Now, Yeah, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it would happen to the seventeen hundred. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>we let a whole lot of people come through, so
<v Speaker 2>it's it's great. Yeah yeah, I'd be superd for my
<v Speaker 2>birthday story. I've told it before, but I'll just make
<v Speaker 2>a quick version of it. The sort of a little
<v Speaker 2>avenger hunt that they set up for me on my
<v Speaker 2>fifth birthday where they had the nes waiting for me
<v Speaker 2>in the bathroom like under a Hulu. Who couldn't have
<v Speaker 2>to be like it's under the rainbow, go find it
<v Speaker 2>at the end of the rainbow.
<v Speaker 5>So I went off through my house like figuring all
<v Speaker 5>all this stuff, and at the end was a Nintendo
<v Speaker 5>entertainment system.
<v Speaker 2>Oh that's cute. Yeah it was great. Yep in the bathrooms, Yes,
<v Speaker 2>he was in the tub. Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>All I want for my birthday is I just want
<v Speaker 1>to go to the lunch buffet at the Round Table Pizza.
<v Speaker 1>I've told this multiple times different significant others, people I've dated, friends,
<v Speaker 1>and they don't think I'm serious because they think I'm
<v Speaker 1>too much of a fancy lad.
<v Speaker 5>Do you even have a birthday? I don't, I think
<v Speaker 5>the one. I don't know if we've ever celebrated your birthday.
<v Speaker 2>I you know what?
<v Speaker 1>I I don't know anymore because no one wants to
<v Speaker 1>tell me October eleven, Buniello and I are born a
<v Speaker 1>couple of days apart. But all I want I just
<v Speaker 1>want to go to the Round Table lunch buffet. Anyway,
<v Speaker 1>Moving on, next email comes from Tony in Todd Mordan. Hey,
<v Speaker 1>GB curse not real. I don't think it is either,
<v Speaker 1>I just Tony.
<v Speaker 2>Who the fuck?
<v Speaker 1>I just finished watching Digital foundryes bizarre video on DLSS
<v Speaker 1>five that puts an Ai yosification filter on top of
<v Speaker 1>characters and finds lighting to be more realistic and lifeless.
<v Speaker 1>A lot of the comments are rightly shocked and appalled
<v Speaker 1>by the blind praise of this, But I feel like
<v Speaker 1>the road here was built by gamers wanting to turn
<v Speaker 1>off artistic content for clarity. For a decade or so,
<v Speaker 1>a certain type of gamer is always asking about the
<v Speaker 1>citizen Kane of games, but also wants patches and mods
<v Speaker 1>to turn off chromatic aberration and depth the field.
<v Speaker 2>Do we deserve this? We pave the car park.
<v Speaker 1>The DLSS five wants every game to take place in
<v Speaker 1>all the best Tony and Todd Morden.
<v Speaker 4>I like the idea that this is Jeff Greb's fault.
<v Speaker 2>Actually, yeah, I know that's what we're getting at, right, Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>it's the moderns fault.
<v Speaker 5>Yes, video games are software. I think it's intrinsic to
<v Speaker 5>the to the platform, to the medium. It's like anything
<v Speaker 5>that software can be modified, and we've been doing that
<v Speaker 5>from day one.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that has been a part.
<v Speaker 5>Like Miss pac Man was a mod that was some
<v Speaker 5>dudes in America being like, we want to make this
<v Speaker 5>game more difficult and better, and then uh namco Right,
<v Speaker 5>that's a Nampco thing. They're we're gonna we'll buy that
<v Speaker 5>from you and then we'll distribute it. But it was
<v Speaker 5>owned jointly by these people that that moded it for forever,
<v Speaker 5>so that it's intrinsic to the to the medium.
<v Speaker 4>So so.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, right, well so if it's intrinsic, though, I think
<v Speaker 3>maybe the question is more, is it like just the evolution?
<v Speaker 5>I think yes, I think it's messy, right, like evolution
<v Speaker 5>where we're going to try a bunch of different stuff,
<v Speaker 5>and mods have sort of solidified and become a known
<v Speaker 5>quantity so that we know what to expect from those.
<v Speaker 5>So that does sort of shake us all that much anymore.
<v Speaker 5>When people try to yes fy things through mods, that's like,
<v Speaker 5>that's just those weirdos doing their thing over there, whereas
<v Speaker 5>this is like, oh, codifying, it feels different.
<v Speaker 4>It's it's it is kind of I personally never like it. Like,
<v Speaker 4>you know, Starfield, which was not a great looking game,
<v Speaker 4>like one of its most popular mods right away was
<v Speaker 4>better faces, And I'm like, I don't know, maybe they're better,
<v Speaker 4>but I'm just look, I'm gonna give I'm gonna use
<v Speaker 4>the faces they give me. I remember there was that
<v Speaker 4>Half Life to remake, and that was one where I
<v Speaker 4>saw some people popping out like, well, look a much
<v Speaker 4>better it looks, And I thought it looked awful. I
<v Speaker 4>you know, they was just making the character models more realistic,
<v Speaker 4>but they also looked more lifeless and weird, and.
<v Speaker 2>I just I just hated it.
<v Speaker 4>So I don't know, and I don't know. I don't
<v Speaker 4>know why it's different suddenly if like that publisher who
<v Speaker 4>like paid people's like, we updated the visual and that
<v Speaker 4>game's remastered. Now, I don't know why that's different to me.
<v Speaker 4>Well sometimes even then, like I don't like the way
<v Speaker 4>the new Dia s X remastered looks. Honest, I think
<v Speaker 4>they're way off the mark of how much they're changing
<v Speaker 4>the visuals there.
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean to think about mods, they're like they're
<v Speaker 5>so optional, right, so if you don't like something, then
<v Speaker 5>you never have to engage.
<v Speaker 2>With that ever, right, All right? Moving on along.
<v Speaker 1>This email comes from our own Will Crosby. What this
<v Speaker 1>has been sitting in my drafts for seven years, But
<v Speaker 1>I was having an argument at work recently and would
<v Speaker 1>love your input on the discussion. My coworkers were a
<v Speaker 1>guest when I told them that when I eat a
<v Speaker 1>burger and fries, I normally eat the entire burger first
<v Speaker 1>and then move on to the fries. My reasoning is
<v Speaker 1>I want to fill up on the delicious burger I
<v Speaker 1>paid for, then eat the side. They claim that you
<v Speaker 1>should have bites of the burger with fries intermittently between. So,
<v Speaker 1>my duders, do you eat the burger first, switch between both,
<v Speaker 1>or are you a monster and eat all the fries first?
<v Speaker 2>Will? I don't think about it at all, that's my answer.
<v Speaker 1>No, I do.
<v Speaker 2>I've thought about this so much, will, And thank you
<v Speaker 2>for being brave enough to write in. So here's the
<v Speaker 2>thing I think I do disagree, and this is just
<v Speaker 2>a personal taste thing. We will if you're just seeing
<v Speaker 2>fries as like, oh this side thing, and the burger's
<v Speaker 2>the main event for me. When I get like a
<v Speaker 2>quarter pounder and some fries, they're kind of equal, like
<v Speaker 2>I like them both, so like I kind of do
<v Speaker 2>it intermittently in that particular instance. But where I can
<v Speaker 2>absolutely relate to you is pizza, because barring something funky
<v Speaker 2>and special and gimmicky like a stuffed crust or something
<v Speaker 2>where you know, suddenly the crust becomes the main event.
<v Speaker 2>I see standard crust as kind of boring, Like I
<v Speaker 2>don't dislike it. I eat it for sure, but I
<v Speaker 2>will frequently if we're out of the pizza place or something,
<v Speaker 2>be left with a plate of crust and everyone's like, oh,
<v Speaker 2>are you one of those weirdo kids or that you
<v Speaker 2>know you can't eat crust. It's like, no, no, that's
<v Speaker 2>not it. But Will's logic applies here. You have a
<v Speaker 2>finite amount of space in your stomach, right, we all agree.
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, so when you're eating I disagree. Oh here he
<v Speaker 6>goes again on that. When you're eating pizza, the best
<v Speaker 6>part is the.
<v Speaker 2>Pizza with the sauce and the cheese and the toppings
<v Speaker 2>and all the good stuff there. So with that finite
<v Speaker 2>space in your stomach, I Am always going to want
<v Speaker 2>to fill it up with the main event, which is
<v Speaker 2>the normal, full on bites of pizza. Get it. Then
<v Speaker 2>if at the end of it, if there's no more
<v Speaker 2>pizza left and it's just crust, then I'll get to
<v Speaker 2>the crust, and you know, there's some extra space in
<v Speaker 2>my stomach. Sure, but I'm not going to fill space
<v Speaker 2>in my stomach that could be full delicious pizza with
<v Speaker 2>just brand. This is just an incredibly long way of
<v Speaker 2>you saying I like what I like, and that's it.
<v Speaker 2>There's nothing like saying that crust is as good as pizza.
<v Speaker 1>Depends on the pizza.
<v Speaker 3>It depends on the pizza, which sounds like you're not
<v Speaker 3>having a great pizza if you don't.
<v Speaker 4>You know, the turbo crust on jets. I'll take that,
<v Speaker 4>but I just can't like that's a highlight.
<v Speaker 3>But all you're saying out loud is like I'm someone
<v Speaker 3>who doesn't favor the crust as much. It's just the preference, right,
<v Speaker 3>So that's all it is, like.
<v Speaker 2>The crust more than the pizzaza.
<v Speaker 3>There's no one going around here eating only crust and
<v Speaker 3>leaving the rest of the pizza.
<v Speaker 2>There's no one doing that that. There are people that
<v Speaker 2>prefer the crust to the pizza. I'm what I'm saying
<v Speaker 2>say that, yeah, but that's not what I was getting at.
<v Speaker 2>And I'm saying, you like what you like, and that's fine.
<v Speaker 2>I like crust. Crust is good, but it's as good
<v Speaker 2>as But you're.
<v Speaker 3>Just saying what you favor. You're just saying I like
<v Speaker 3>the pizza part better.
<v Speaker 2>That everyone prefers the pizza to the crust. No, not
<v Speaker 2>everyone does, but this is a completely different conversation.
<v Speaker 1>I think it's because, like the crust is not aside
<v Speaker 1>to the pizza, It's part of the pizza.
<v Speaker 2>Look.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I used to get mad when I was a
<v Speaker 4>kid because like I was like the kid not eating
<v Speaker 4>the crust. And I think it was just to try
<v Speaker 4>to shame me, Like everyone be like that's the best part.
<v Speaker 4>And I would say, if the crust was the best part,
<v Speaker 4>we wouldn't bother putting all that cheese and sauce on
<v Speaker 4>the rest of the bread. Like what are you talking
<v Speaker 4>about it's the best part, you would just be eating bread.
<v Speaker 2>I answer, I just.
<v Speaker 5>Don't think about it all that much. And when I
<v Speaker 5>get a piece of pizza, I ate the piece of
<v Speaker 5>pizza and that includes the crust. And then if I
<v Speaker 5>don't have enough room for another piece of pizza, I
<v Speaker 5>will live again to have pizza again one day.
<v Speaker 2>For pizza. I'm not trying to I'm not trying to
<v Speaker 2>optimize my stomach space that way.
<v Speaker 8>The thought of that stresses me out, like that is
<v Speaker 8>totally I do imagine having those problems. Imagine having those problems. Yeah,
<v Speaker 8>I mean what about what's wrong. Here's the question thing wrong?
<v Speaker 8>List of course he's wrong. No, no, no, listen, listen,
<v Speaker 8>going to say what I'm thinking. Fried foods get worse
<v Speaker 8>over time, they just do. They're the best when they're
<v Speaker 8>most recently fried.
<v Speaker 4>The burger is going to be good for a while
<v Speaker 4>until unless until it gets like maybe cold, which is
<v Speaker 4>that gonna happen.
<v Speaker 2>For a long time? Look fried?
<v Speaker 4>Well, yeah, so you want to eat the fries first
<v Speaker 4>while they're still good, and then you eat the burger.
<v Speaker 4>That is my order of operation there.
<v Speaker 2>So so all right, I mean, look, that's fine.
<v Speaker 3>I don't know how much fries are like decomposed in
<v Speaker 3>quality in in you know, four minutes.
<v Speaker 2>But uh, yeah, right, there's there's something deeper here though.
<v Speaker 2>It's uh the burger, fries and soda are like a
<v Speaker 2>paper rock scissor sort of trifecta thing. Sure where the
<v Speaker 2>the grease from the burger and then they all yeah,
<v Speaker 2>they all compliment each other and actually make each one
<v Speaker 2>taste better as you go in a circle and eat
<v Speaker 2>all of them, like they compliment each other in a
<v Speaker 2>very fundamental way. The circle of life as circle is
<v Speaker 2>talking about a burger and fries meal yes, So it's
<v Speaker 2>like you want to, like get if you're trying to
<v Speaker 2>maximize something, that's what I would be trying to It
<v Speaker 2>is kind of perfect. Just a burger, fries and a soda.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, now, will stop trying to normalize yourself. Then, well
<v Speaker 3>you said what you said.
<v Speaker 2>No, I think you know. Will.
<v Speaker 3>I understand you're just doing like order order of preference
<v Speaker 3>in the thing and I and I'm guilty of that too.
<v Speaker 3>Like if I have a plate with like six different
<v Speaker 3>things on it, I will subconsciously prioritize things and like
<v Speaker 3>save stuff.
<v Speaker 2>For stuff the best stuff or last.
<v Speaker 3>And that's yeah, I kind of do that sometimes too.
<v Speaker 3>I'm guilty of that for sure. Okay, sorry, I do Yeah,
<v Speaker 3>go ahead, Mike.
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry.
<v Speaker 4>Try force make chats like air friars have rendered Mike's
<v Speaker 4>point mute. Okay, so I'll just eat the burger first,
<v Speaker 4>and before I eat my fries, go to the air fryer.
<v Speaker 2>And that's with that for a while.
<v Speaker 3>Hey, if this person cares that much about having the hottest,
<v Speaker 3>crispiest fries, let them let them cook. I think I
<v Speaker 3>like I like having burgers and fries together. I want
<v Speaker 3>it together. I like switching off back and forth.
<v Speaker 2>It feels good for me. Do whatever you want. Yeah, sure,
<v Speaker 2>this is a lunch look. Yeah, he finally did it.
<v Speaker 2>He usually did it. Here an actual lunch look video.
<v Speaker 1>Oh I'm not an advocate for throwing fries in a burger,
<v Speaker 1>but if we're talking to be fast, I'll throw a
<v Speaker 1>hash brown in a sausage mcmuff not above us. Sure,
<v Speaker 1>juicy Lucy style.
<v Speaker 2>You bite the vent holes so you don't get the
<v Speaker 2>lava cheese to fuck up your mouth, and then you
<v Speaker 2>dip the fries in the vent hole. That's that seems sexual.
<v Speaker 2>Bite the tint hole to cool. You can't do a
<v Speaker 2>full bite of the juicy lucy when it comes because
<v Speaker 2>it was poetry. It will mine mine, it will maim
<v Speaker 2>you if you buy a juicy Lucy immediately. So you
<v Speaker 2>buy the vent hole and while it's cooling.
<v Speaker 1>In there is the juicy lucy. The American equivalent to
<v Speaker 1>the soup dumpling.
<v Speaker 2>Soup dumpling, Yeah, Mike, what do you think, Mike, you've
<v Speaker 2>had one. I mean, I feel like there's got to
<v Speaker 2>be something that's closer to being a soup dumpling. This
<v Speaker 2>is just what is Yeah, the burger with the cheese
<v Speaker 2>is like fried.
<v Speaker 4>And now you got me.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, whatever, whatever cooking mechanism makes a burger, you do
<v Speaker 2>that with the cheese inside the meat? Oh okay, yes,
<v Speaker 2>is neat? That's quite a vent hole into my hot pockets.
<v Speaker 4>I still I shouldn't this. I still can't believe McDonald's.
<v Speaker 4>I don't know what a friar is.
<v Speaker 2>I just shot right. It's surprised thing that. But again,
<v Speaker 2>they didn't let us fuck with that because I was fourteen. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>it was there another life saving decision for another one
<v Speaker 2>of the universes guardrails child. When I was fourteen, I
<v Speaker 2>was at AMC McDonald's and they didn't let us use
<v Speaker 2>the popcorn popper at fourteen. Remember once I turned fifteen,
<v Speaker 2>It's like I've graduated to the popcorn popper.
<v Speaker 1>I did not anticipate Will's email inspiring this much discourse.
<v Speaker 2>But here we are, Will, Will, I get it.
<v Speaker 4>We're not friends anymore, all of us though, because of you, I.
<v Speaker 1>Think we'll put in chat. Oh no, my parents are fighting.
<v Speaker 2>What is the word for the burgers. It's not fried?
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, right, okay, flame roiled. This is the word
<v Speaker 2>like baking cookie. Everyone who seems interchangeable, but also they're not.
<v Speaker 2>They they've served specific needs. Yeah.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you don't bake a burger ever, No never, I
<v Speaker 4>mean you even if you put a and I guess,
<v Speaker 4>but you would get no seering or browning.
<v Speaker 2>Be a terribleoid to do it. Yeah.

<v Speaker 1>get home. I get Seth, get your eight bid dough
<v Speaker 1>Ultimate two or Pro three. I think they might be
<v Speaker 1>on either, and even that have the dock, so you
<v Speaker 1>could just set it on there. It's always charged, you
<v Speaker 1>take it off.
<v Speaker 2>And immediately connects.
<v Speaker 5>The dongle is in the dock, so like it's not
<v Speaker 5>far away, so you're not gonna go a lot of interference,
<v Speaker 5>not that you would have anyhow when you're using the dog,
<v Speaker 5>the DOC and the dongle. It could switch the bluetooth
<v Speaker 5>if you want to use it on other stuff, So
<v Speaker 5>that's handy. Yeah, it's been my go to and I've
<v Speaker 5>not felt the need to like move on from it
<v Speaker 5>because I've been very happy with using it for a
<v Speaker 5>long time.
<v Speaker 2>Now, is there? Yeah, go ahead. I was gonna say
<v Speaker 2>there's a dream co op thing I want to do
<v Speaker 2>long term that I've brought up several times off air,
<v Speaker 2>but to do it right, I'd want to do a
<v Speaker 2>long lead up to it.
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, but I think on that also on that front,
<v Speaker 4>stay tuned.
<v Speaker 2>Exactly. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, isn't there isn't there
<v Speaker 2>a new Uh? Isn't there a new one? Where you

<v Speaker 2>that might be the Pro three. I don't have one.
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, I don't have that. Yeah, the Ultimate too.
<v Speaker 2>Mm hmmm.
<v Speaker 5>If you're playing they're playing on PC, you probably just

<v Speaker 1>But they sell cheeky's over there, which are just a
<v Speaker 1>little curated shots, so it'll be like, hey, this is
<v Speaker 1>like a Fernette Jack and coke delio and you can
<v Speaker 1>just throw that back.
<v Speaker 2>That's a smart idea. Hey, hey, Grub, you're good at
<v Speaker 2>this type of tinkering stuff. Can you work with me
<v Speaker 2>to hack the talk with Flower to just instead of
<v Speaker 2>saying it's pre built things, to just randomly say shot

<v Speaker 1>Last email from UH for the show comes from Marlin
<v Speaker 1>and Fargo. Sorry, just stunlocked me thinking about a flower
<v Speaker 1>telling me what to do. Hey, gang, A Giant Bomb
<v Speaker 1>Fighting game is coming out. The roster is every GB
<v Speaker 1>employee past and present. Standard edition is seventy, but the
<v Speaker 1>Dude Edition is one hundred dollars. It includes all the
<v Speaker 1>DLC consisting of six new fighters from the GB extended family,
<v Speaker 1>a handful of new skins for the existing roster, one
<v Speaker 1>new announcer. What are you filling those slots with to
<v Speaker 1>get me to cough up in extra thirty clams?
<v Speaker 2>Peace? Marlin and Fargo. First two come to mind, Dave
<v Speaker 2>Lang and Mary Kish. I just thought of Mary. I
<v Speaker 2>don't know why Mary should be in a fighting game.
<v Speaker 2>Mary would be, you know, the announcer, to be the
<v Speaker 2>wind bag, that would be you should put Mike Maharty in,
<v Speaker 2>but as a assist trophy. Sure he comes in and
<v Speaker 2>just kind of like Michael Skin. Anyone could dresses Mike Maharty,
<v Speaker 2>he's a b fighter. Yeah, we should have Nikki. There
<v Speaker 2>could there be an echo fighter of me.
<v Speaker 4>That's a j Yes, that's good, Okay, I like yeah,
<v Speaker 4>Palette swaps, Yeah, exactly.
<v Speaker 1>Handful of new skins. I mean there's all the Blanke
<v Speaker 1>club skins. I think, guys, we have to follow the trends.
<v Speaker 2>We got big.
<v Speaker 4>It's just gotta be us and skimpy.
<v Speaker 6>Uh.
<v Speaker 2>That's what makes the real money. The Omega mo caps
<v Speaker 2>all of us. Yeah right, oh, hell yeah. One of
<v Speaker 2>us got to bite a bullet and marry our cousin.
<v Speaker 4>So who is, right, the hottest cousin? That's an episode title. Yeah,
<v Speaker 4>I don't oh man.
<v Speaker 2>All right, who's got the hottest cousin? I'll Mary Texas,
<v Speaker 2>Samoa Joe. I feel like that would be unfair to
<v Speaker 2>everyone else. What's Joe's cousin?
<v Speaker 4>Oh, the other.
<v Speaker 2>He's very fixated on cousins.
<v Speaker 1>Mike, I'm scared now to ask you about super chanes.
<v Speaker 1>But folks, that does it off for emails, bombcasta giant
<v Speaker 1>bomb dot com email dress.
<v Speaker 2>Broadway Taco and Grill is the name of the place

<v Speaker 2>dollars burritos. Oh, Alex Boniello could be a guest character.
<v Speaker 2>Guest character.
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, god, the combination. If this is a tag
<v Speaker 1>fighter in my head, it's a tag fighter of some
<v Speaker 1>Moa Joe and Kayla unstoppable.
<v Speaker 2>Oh and if it's like three v three you have
<v Speaker 2>Mary Kish as part of that. Just juzzes.
<v Speaker 4>All right, we got quite a few here, starting with
<v Speaker 4>a Menati.
<v Speaker 1>Sorry, hold on one second. It should instead of a
<v Speaker 1>fighting game, it should just be like a Sonic Heroes.
<v Speaker 1>But you pick your trio.
<v Speaker 4>Sure, Yeah, Minate's Fruit and Porium says, any of you
<v Speaker 4>noticed the copy of Mega Man eight hidden in the
<v Speaker 4>closet and resume will requiem Zombies have good taste, almost
<v Speaker 4>as good as our taste and fruit. Oh, I definitely
<v Speaker 4>noticed the copy.
<v Speaker 2>Of Mega Man eight.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think it was in one of the lockers.
<v Speaker 4>There's like a bunch of Capcom games and like I
<v Speaker 4>once I noticed or somethings like there better be a
<v Speaker 4>Mega Man in here something. Then I noticed Mega Man
<v Speaker 4>eight and I was happy.
<v Speaker 2>Do you guys find a weskers picture of Rebecca Chambers
<v Speaker 2>in the library. Ye sure?
<v Speaker 4>Did I mean that that picture was in like original
<v Speaker 4>residubal too, even so it keeps showing up. Yeah, yeah,
<v Speaker 4>or at least it was in the remake. I definitely
<v Speaker 4>remember it in the remake, even Beatty says Jurf messages
<v Speaker 4>ce last week monthly sub on Giant Palm until I die.
<v Speaker 4>I'm the same age as you, fifty one, so that
<v Speaker 4>might be soon.
<v Speaker 2>Love you guys. Oh you're gonna die? Okay, h yeah,
<v Speaker 2>everything about that is great, Thank you. Okay.
<v Speaker 4>I want to ask you that someone asked, did you
<v Speaker 4>see the Tofu in the Raccoon City Police Department? I
<v Speaker 4>saw it, and I feel like, I look, it's funny.
<v Speaker 4>I feel like that Easter egg was maybe a bit
<v Speaker 4>in your face for how ridiculous that was, Like that
<v Speaker 4>should not be something that happens on my first playthrough.
<v Speaker 2>I heard this from a couple super fans of Ari
<v Speaker 2>that I know, and I think that might be you
<v Speaker 2>might be taking resid evil too seriously. If that upsets you,
<v Speaker 2>you don't set me, but like, explain it to me.
<v Speaker 2>So there's a there's an Easter egg where outside a
<v Speaker 2>window you see Tofu, who's like a hidden character. From
<v Speaker 2>old ass resid Eval games. Okay, he's just kind of
<v Speaker 2>like walking around outside the police station and this's a
<v Speaker 2>goofy thing that's it's like, what's the problem, It's unrealistic.
<v Speaker 2>It's the.
<v Speaker 4>Just in a pretty tense part of the game. It
<v Speaker 4>just felt like it felt like I got the dog
<v Speaker 4>ending in Silent Hill too. It was that levels of
<v Speaker 4>silliness and there's a lot of steps I have to
<v Speaker 4>do to do that, and just all of a sudden
<v Speaker 4>there's Tofu kind of like I saw this Tofu walking
<v Speaker 4>around like five times.
<v Speaker 2>I think I lean.
<v Speaker 4>Towards Dan on this one, where it's like the silliness
<v Speaker 4>of Resident Okay, but now on games Set the praising
<v Speaker 4>of this for me, like I like the silliness of
<v Speaker 4>Resident Evil. This is just a sentient, a block of
<v Speaker 4>Tofu very loudly sneaking around during an entire section of
<v Speaker 4>the game, Like I get the joke, all right, it's
<v Speaker 4>a bit much, I get, Okay, I.
<v Speaker 2>I love it.
<v Speaker 9>Dan is right, dance right right, oh, thank you every
<v Speaker 9>oh never for me, just no suave music saying it
<v Speaker 9>says anyone play Resival Guidan On Game Boy Color, he
<v Speaker 9>plays Barry looking.
<v Speaker 4>Like Chuck Norris, which controls like a golf game. Verbis
<v Speaker 4>are by kind of cool, nice pixel art.
<v Speaker 2>Love you all. Thanks for the pods. I we did
<v Speaker 2>it for for extra life. Yep, that's right. Yeah we
<v Speaker 2>can play it.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, I would like to play some more of
<v Speaker 4>it someday.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.
<v Speaker 4>And I love Barry. I'm a big Barry fan. Bearry's
<v Speaker 4>awesome blade Runner, says I'm behind. But thank god for
<v Speaker 4>you Grub for highlighting that Dusty Baker invented the high five.
<v Speaker 2>I'm here for you, Bud. Yeah. I mean, once I
<v Speaker 2>learned that fact, I can't never stop thinking about it.
<v Speaker 2>It's like that's that I watched it.
<v Speaker 5>That guy managed baseball games in my lifetime. The guy
<v Speaker 5>who invented the high five was just walking around the
<v Speaker 5>same time as me.
<v Speaker 4>That's CRAZYGS Migsy, says Jeff Beckler.
<v Speaker 2>Please invite mcmuscles to the Giant Bomb cast.
<v Speaker 4>Look, I I've wanted to make contact with Matt mcmuscles
<v Speaker 4>or some kind of Giant Bomb content for a while now,
<v Speaker 4>and he added me on Blue Sky not too long ago,
<v Speaker 4>so that was exciting. So like things are happening there.
<v Speaker 4>I think that Matt mcmuscles is a cool dude, Dan,
<v Speaker 4>you'll like him. He likes uh like classic professional wrestling,
<v Speaker 4>a ton in old video games. I think YouTube would
<v Speaker 4>have a lot in the comic talk about. Yeah, yeah,

<v Speaker 4>he's a YouTube man. But you know he's he's great.

<v Speaker 2>want to get I want to get Matt mcmuscles for sure.
<v Speaker 4>Uh he does those what happened videos that are those
<v Speaker 4>are about his most famous ones, talking about like troubled
<v Speaker 4>games or weird games, like how did this happen? All right,
<v Speaker 4>Mixey says, tomorrow is blakkert day.
<v Speaker 2>Woots.
<v Speaker 4>That's right, the blightning round blinked and you'll miss it everybody.
<v Speaker 4>In fact, you should get there super early just to
<v Speaker 4>make sure you don't miss him blazing through this game.
<v Speaker 4>It could be done any second.
<v Speaker 2>There it is.
<v Speaker 4>There's an Amazon package.
<v Speaker 2>He doesn't docks himself either. Good job, Dan, that's a pro.
<v Speaker 2>Here's the game. There it is there you go.
<v Speaker 4>Our first This is the first time we sent somebody
<v Speaker 4>a Super Nintendo game for Blake Club.
<v Speaker 2>That's exciting. Yeah, so I guess I'm shoot Super Nintendo. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>we'll go to the retro tank, right.
<v Speaker 5>That's exactly why we were doing the Blightning Round too,
<v Speaker 5>because it was like, we're like so many Super Nintendo games.
<v Speaker 5>They are, they're bad, but they're often too short, and
<v Speaker 5>this is why we want to have Blightning Round.
<v Speaker 2>This is Yeah. I'm so worried now because I made
<v Speaker 2>the guess. I don't know if you were there, Grub,
<v Speaker 2>I was pretty sure it was Wayne's World for sn
<v Speaker 2>e S. And now I'm not so sure. And I
<v Speaker 2>don't even know, honestly what it could be. I don't
<v Speaker 2>know if like I've looked up a lot of worst
<v Speaker 2>games of all time, I don't see this and the
<v Speaker 2>ass pop up a lot. You're not far off. Whoa
<v Speaker 2>not Home Improvement, Home Improvements longer. I don't think it's
<v Speaker 2>home Stop trying to, stop trying to I think it's
<v Speaker 2>gonna be a license SNS game. It's tomorrow, tomorrow. I'm
<v Speaker 2>sitting here in tooth pain that I'm delaying for three
<v Speaker 2>weeks to pain.
<v Speaker 4>That's true, says Tomorrow Is. Oh, no, that one read
<v Speaker 4>bigs He says Dan Reichert. Will there be a mcgruber
<v Speaker 4>watchcast with VC? I mean assume who's VC in this case?
<v Speaker 2>Do you see Virtual Company Venture?
<v Speaker 4>Oh?
<v Speaker 2>I don't think I've ever watched mcgruber with him. No,
<v Speaker 2>we definitely talked about it now, I don't know if
<v Speaker 2>I've saying it with them. No, I got to say
<v Speaker 2>what to investigate? This makes, he says Mike manaughty. Will
<v Speaker 2>there ever be Giant Bomb garbage bags at the store?
<v Speaker 4>I think I could say, well with a certain degree
<v Speaker 4>of certainty, that there will not be any Giant Bomb
<v Speaker 4>branded garbage bags available on the store.
<v Speaker 2>Products.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, never say never, you know, come on, open minded
<v Speaker 3>and all.
<v Speaker 4>That zombie porn, says is Sean playing that new Quantic
<v Speaker 4>Dream game? Is there a new Quantic Dream game?
<v Speaker 2>Always that the multiplayer one?
<v Speaker 4>What they made a multiple In my mind, they're just
<v Speaker 4>prett tending to work on that Star Wars game right
<v Speaker 4>like five years or whatever, and I have done.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they have a multiplayer one. It's a mobia.
<v Speaker 4>They made a mob right, yes, from like a month ago.
<v Speaker 4>Oh that must not be doing well.
<v Speaker 2>Spellcaster's Chronicles, What that name sucks? That's real bad. Wait,
<v Speaker 2>Spellcaster Chronicles, that's the chrontic dream Moba apparently that sounds
<v Speaker 2>like that should have been the name for Do you
<v Speaker 2>remember when they made the fake E three trailer like
<v Speaker 2>fifteen fucking years ago and it was a wizard doing
<v Speaker 2>a look like casting a spell in front of a
<v Speaker 2>cauldron and all that. I don't remember. It looks so
<v Speaker 2>stupid and like it was supposed to be stupid. It
<v Speaker 2>was like either a tech demo or a like rug
<v Speaker 2>pole thing. It was just like, oh, it's actually this
<v Speaker 2>is the game that sounds like it should have been
<v Speaker 2>called Spellcaster. It's like extra bad.
<v Speaker 4>Now when you're free to play, game doesn't even get
<v Speaker 4>the kind of high guard attention, right, you don't even
<v Speaker 4>get the decorative attention right.
<v Speaker 2>You're just completely ignored.
<v Speaker 4>It just completely just can't man, this thing looks weird.
<v Speaker 4>It looks like from like ten years ago when people
<v Speaker 4>are trying to make third person Moba is more of
<v Speaker 4>a thing. Especially weird now that we have that valve
<v Speaker 4>one that is, you know, kind of taking this space.
<v Speaker 4>I don't know, I normally be like we should try it.
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if we need to try. It's an
<v Speaker 4>early I'm good whatever. Then Bobby hot Dog says, d
<v Speaker 4>O s S stands for dukie lace side salad n
<v Speaker 4>T why. I don't know what the ntify apart meant,
<v Speaker 4>but I like doukie lace side dookie means poop.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>I learned that the one of one of us is
<v Speaker 1>the hot cousin who.
<v Speaker 2>I may beat you Jan the target of a cousin
<v Speaker 2>of an Alex. Oh, we got to get off this.
<v Speaker 2>I'm scared now.
<v Speaker 1>Uh.
<v Speaker 4>Zacycy Zacy says, I'm pretty sure Dan has to play
<v Speaker 4>another Blake Club game before the Rip Rip Chord game
<v Speaker 4>because of this is the Run.
<v Speaker 2>I don't make the rules.
<v Speaker 4>Sorry, Oh look, we didn't caudify Dan, remember you during
<v Speaker 4>this is the run, You're like, we should make it
<v Speaker 4>a rule so that if you lose the first question, uh,
<v Speaker 4>you have to immediately played extra blank Club game and
<v Speaker 4>then like five minutes later. But me and were like, no,
<v Speaker 4>that's a terrible idea.
<v Speaker 2>We don't want to do that. And then of course
<v Speaker 2>you you were the first one to do that immediately.
<v Speaker 2>It sounds like that was probably said in just.
<v Speaker 4>And then Andrew Panton says, do you have any launch
<v Speaker 4>reactions of Risie and I procopia. I searched launch, look,
<v Speaker 4>it can only find slay the spire. I know it's
<v Speaker 4>confusing branding.
<v Speaker 2>I agree.
<v Speaker 4>If only we could kind of normalize everything and just
<v Speaker 4>have one umbrella term for at all.
<v Speaker 2>I just want Mikey happy. That's all I care about.
<v Speaker 2>Same the umbrella term for everything isn't the problem. The
<v Speaker 2>umbrella term itself. That's it for the super chats, thank you? Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>oh boy? But and that almost does it for the
<v Speaker 2>show once again.

<v Speaker 2>Dan's Turn is finally here. Now listen. It's going to
<v Speaker 2>be a one episode thing, because that's what the gimmick
<v Speaker 2>with Blightening Round is is that they're short games you
<v Speaker 2>can beat in one episode. So yeah, one, I'm done
<v Speaker 2>and like.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean, should be fine. The long play that
<v Speaker 4>I watched was like almost a third of the time
<v Speaker 4>of the one that Virtuoso was so pretty short.
<v Speaker 2>Virtuoso was like an hour, right, Oh that thought I
<v Speaker 2>was like two. No, it was like it was like
<v Speaker 2>an hour fifty or something like that. Okay, maybe less
<v Speaker 2>than half, less than half, yeah, it was like less
<v Speaker 2>than half.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, voice ahead.
<v Speaker 3>I was gonna say, go back and watch Abby successfully
<v Speaker 3>build her very first mechanical keyboards.
<v Speaker 2>She keeps writing me about it.
<v Speaker 3>She's very honestly excited about it. She was not just uh,
<v Speaker 3>you know, performing on streams. She actually does like the keyboard.
<v Speaker 3>There's a lot of suspicion that she was lying the
<v Speaker 3>whole time.
<v Speaker 2>I'm here to tell you she was not. She does
<v Speaker 2>like it.
<v Speaker 3>Go watch the stream and then uh, if you do,

<v Speaker 1>Voicemail dump truck popping off on Thursday, and speaking about
<v Speaker 1>Abby Marry Me Tomadacci episode four for all the premium
<v Speaker 1>folk out there this afternoon. You know, Mike, you were
<v Speaker 1>talking about childhood Glee earlier in the show, and I
<v Speaker 1>think it's appropriate that you got turned into a child.
<v Speaker 2>I didn't see. Did you get turned back into a
<v Speaker 2>real boo a child?
<v Speaker 1>No?
<v Speaker 4>There, they're compromise, which I said, I don't want you
<v Speaker 4>to do. That was just to turn Princess, Mermaid and
